Ontario Society of Senior Citizen Organization

OSSCO© is a provincial organization and a registered charity. We were established in 1987 to bring together seniors, keep them educated and informed as well as engaged on current issues. We focus on making aging easier…for everyone through education, research and public policy.

Through our member organizations which represent 500,000 older adults across Ontario, their members have access to unique, practical, educational programming delivered in THE OSSCO WAY© through Peer Facilitators.

Our learning principles recognize the 4 Stages of Aging Model.  Applying these principles to developing and delivering programs specific to people in the 4 Stages of Aging Model results in programs that are unique, specific to people in the 4 stages of aging and helps them be independent, financially secure and living safely in their communities.  This approach is captured as THE OSSCO WAY©, resulting in the production and delivery of learning programs for people aged 55 -64, 65 – 74, 75 – 84 and older.

OSSCO©  programs are delivered in a variety of methods including in person, through Zoom, self-directed programs, by mail, social media and through OSSCO© ‘s YouTube channel.
