Essentially, seniors lead and inspire projects to make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities.
Community-based projects are eligible to receive up to $25,000 in grant funding. Of note for 2025-26, “for-profit” organizations are no longer eligible for funding.
The objectives of the NHSP are to: promote volunteerism among seniors and other generations; engage seniors in the community in mentoring through the mentoring of others; expand awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse; support the social participation and inclusion of seniors; and provide capital assistance for new and existing community projects and programs for seniors.
“Last year, eight projects in Yorkton-Melville were approved, with a combined amount of $161,784 in federal funding received,” said Wagantall. “The 2024-25 approved projects in our riding included several with building upgrades such as furnace and air conditioner replacements, and kitchen improvement projects; there was a sports ground renovation and funding was provided for a seniors’ lunch program,” said Wagantall.
“I strongly encourage our seniors groups and communities to consider applying this year. ” For details on how to apply, visit https://www. canada.
