Our Mission

We advance positive aging - promoting the health, well-being and social participation of ALL older adults - by influencing attitudes, policies and programs to include their voices. 

About Hamilton Council on Aging

The Hamilton Council on Aging is a senior-driven organization that was founded in 2005 by a group of concerned citizens. The Council is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of all seniors in Hamilton. We envision an age-friendly and dementia-friendly community that respects and values its older adults, and provides them with the opportunity to participate fully in society.

Hamilton Council on Aging is committed to:

• Inclusion: We value the wisdom and experience of older adults and their right to experience a high quality of life, free of ageism.
• Diversity: We value the rich diversity of the Hamilton community and strive to include the many voices of older adults in all our endeavours.
• Collaboration: We value our shared work with volunteers and community partners, and know that their insights, knowledge and experience make us stronger.
