The Ontario’s Strategy to Combat Elder Abuse first launched in 2002 to create awareness and protect vulnerable seniors from harm. The Minister Responsible for Seniors, and the Attorney General announced the Strategy, the first of its kind in Canada. Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario is a partner in the implementation of the strategy.
The Strategy is based on 3 priorities of activities:
