flag Ontario projects 1.5 million residents aged 80+ by 2041, urging a unified aging strategy to tackle health, housing, and care challenges.

flag Ontario is projected to have over 1.5 million residents aged 80 and older by 2041, prompting calls for a coordinated provincial strategy to address aging. flag Advocates urge Premier Doug Ford to create an "aging secretariat" to unify fragmented efforts across health care, housing, caregiving, and economic security, citing models in California, New York, and Massachusetts. flag While the province has launched home care, paramedicine, and housing innovation programs, critics say these remain isolated and insufficient. flag The population aged 65 and older is expected to grow by over 60% to 4.2 million by 2040, with older women facing heightened risks of poverty and homelessness. flag Experts warn that without a proactive, cross-departmental approach, rising chronic illness, rural care gaps, and transit access issues will strain systems.
