Ottawa Public Health’s Renewed Older Adult Strategy

Recently, Ottawa Public Health presented its Renewed Older Adult Strategy to the Ottawa Board of Health (BOH). With Ottawa’s older adult population steadily growing, OPH’s programs and services play a vital role in supporting an age-friendly city where all residents can age safely, comfortably, and with dignity.

The renewed strategy is closely aligned with the City of Ottawa’s Older Adult Plan 2025 - 2030, ensuring a coordinated and evidence-informed approach across the city. Together, these efforts will strengthen our collective ability to enhance the health, safety, and well-being of older adults now and into the future.

While much of the BOH report focused on upcoming priorities, the presentation also highlighted the extensive work OPH already undertakes to support older adults. A featured video showcased current programs, partnerships, and community initiatives that make a meaningful difference every day.

The report, presentation, and renewed strategic direction were all well received by the BOH, and we invite you to take a moment to watch the video yourself.
