the Toronto Project

The Toronto project is directed by a Coordinating Committee of 10 seniors. The work of this committee is supported by a project coordinator, Ivan Brown, a university advisor, Dennis Raphael, and students. An Advisory Committee has been set up to advise the Coordinating Committee on the work of the project, and to provide a link to a broad network of seniors organizations and groups. The network that is connected to the Toronto project represents about 500,000 seniors.
