bulldogottawa.com/olde-forge-lac… We are starting to get the word out! Please share and message your MPPs. CSS remains a cost-effective means of ensuring Ontarians age where they want, while also alleviating pressure on hospitals and long-term care. #ontariobudget2023 #agingwithchoice

Service cuts coming as a result of Provincial underfunding of community support services.

Community Support Services are the most cost effective way to support our seniors. Given that most older adults would choose to age in place, why is there still under-funding in this sector? Community Support Services just make sense! #Ontariobudget2023 #communitysupportsmatter

Are we back in 2012? Community Support Service agencies are being expected to run in 2023 on a budget that is more than 10 years old! With more demand for services and greater operating costs, something just doesn't add up. #investincommunitysupport #ontariobudget2023

Spread the word. Community Support Services are a vital part of our health care system. They reduce pressure on hospitals and provide people with the choice to age at home. Without community support services there is no choice for many. #communitysupportsmatter #seniorsofOttawa
