We all know that our seniors have a wealth of talent, experience and goodwill that, when shared with others, can help build the foundation for vibrant and inclusive communities. It was with this in mind that the Government of Canada launched the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP).
 
We are excited to announce that on March 1st the call for proposals under the Community Participation and Leadership stream will be open to all of Canada until April 16, 2010.
 
Whether it is raising awareness of elder abuse, building connections between youth and seniors or transferring traditional knowledge and skills to others, the NHSP puts seniors first so that they can participate in opportunities that benefit their communities.
