📊 Aging in the Countryside
Did you know that in Ontario’s rural areas, 24% of residents are aged 65 and older—compared to just 17% in urban centers?
This growing demographic shift highlights a pressing challenge: how to support aging populations in regions that may face shortages in healthcare infrastructure, public transit, and community services.
As Ontario’s population continues to age—especially outside major cities—policymakers, health leaders, and community organizations will need to explore innovative ways to deliver care that works in both urban and rural environments.
