As a society and a government, we want to give our seniors the dignity and respect that they deserve. This credit will help give our seniors the opportunity to live in their home longer with the ones they love, maintain quality of life into their retirement (1/3)

Our government’s Housing Supply Action Plan is supporting Ontario’s families and young people realize the dream of home ownership by cutting red tape and encouraging innovative approaches to create more affordable housing options that meet people’s needs and budget.
Love and respect to the Bazely family as we celebrate Melissa Bazely and her life with purpose. The @SIMCOECOUNTYHBA and @OntarioHBA family are better because of her. Be kind and help each other.
