Help Us Promote the Voice of Elders!

The Grand River Council on Aging is dedicated to encouraging an “age-friendly community” for all residents “from 5 to 105”, as heard through the voices of our elders.  An age-friendly community optimizes opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age.

• A gift can be pledged at one time or over a period of time, such as annually or monthly.
• Make a gift as a Memorial to a loved one
• Make a Special Occasion Gift in honour of a friend or relative
• Consider making an Estate Gift by naming the Grand River Council on Aging in your Will or donating an insurance policy, stocks or annuities

All gifts, if eligible and regardless of their size, will receive a registered charitable income tax receipt.
