The Advocacy Centre for the Elderly is proud to announce the release of A Qualitative Look at Serious Legal Problems of Older Adults in Ontario. This report examines the legal challenges seniors have faced over the past three to five years and offers insights to improve access to justice for this underserved group.

In 2023, ACE conducted this study in partnership with Justice Canada to address critical gaps in senior-focused legal data. These findings aim to support governments and service providers in crafting policies that better address seniors’ legal needs. This work complements the Canadian Legal Problems Survey (2021).
