About Council on Aging Windsor-Essex County

The Council on Aging, Windsor - Essex County, is a senior driven initiative that is part of a Provincial Network of Councils.

Seniors in Windsor-Essex County


-To engage in community education in a wide variety of issues related to aging


-To engage in "cause" advocacy on behalf of Seniors on a wide range of social, economic, residential, health related, and other relevant policy issues


-To encourage and facilitate research on aging in Windsor and Essex County


-To ensure the active participation of Seniors from Windsor-Essex County in the Council on Aging in relation to the above
