Know a senior who deserves recognition?
Check out the Ontario Senior Achievement Award. This award recognizes seniors for their significant contributions to their communities.
The deadline for nominations is October 1 and you can submit a nomination online by registering through the Ontario Honours and Awards Portal.
“Individuals after they’ve reached the age of 65 are recognized by the province of Ontario for their voluntary and professional achievements,” said MPP Vic Fedeli. “Please take time to nominate a valuable candidate in our community.”
Seniors who qualify for the Ontario Senior Achievement Award may have contributed to many different fields such as the arts, literature, community service, volunteering, education, environment, fitness and humanitarian activities after age 65 and must reside within the province.
People who have passed away, who currently hold political office or who are elected federal, provincial, municipal representatives, or political appointees are not eligible.

The Ontario Senior Achievement Award was created in 1986 to recognize outstanding seniors who, after the age of 65, have made significant contributions to their communities.
By 2025, there will be three million older adults in Ontario – the fastest growing demographic group in the province.
