The multicultural nature and the rapidly changing demography of Canada has created unique challenges in providing housing and other services for population segments of seniors and adults with physical, mental or developmental disabilities. While Canada has made every attempt to include multicultural communities into its fabric, weaknesses can still be seen when it comes to providing retirement homes for its seniors or affordable housing for adults with disabilities belonging to the visible minority groups.

 

Greater Toronto Area or GTA is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. In addition it is the most multi-cultural in all of Canada and even among other large metropolitan areas of the world. GTA residents are about 700,000 of South-Asian origin, 530,000 of Chinese origin and lesser populations of African, Filipino, South-East Asian, East Asian and other origins among visible minorities.

 

About 43% of the GTA population currently are visible minorities and the percentage is expected to rise to 63% in 2031 according to Statistics Canada.

 

We intend to not only address requirements of such minorities but of ALL communities. The Jewish, Italian and Chinese communities have at least addressed needs of frail and handicapped adults, but facilities for other large communities such as South Asians are almost non-existent. We hope to redress that at least to some extent.
