We're planning our next CARP Toronto Mayoral Debate, but Mayor, Olivia Chow won't commit?
We invited her on the day she announced her intention to seek re-election. We even said, 'choose the weekday' that works best for you in September. Her main challenger, Councillor Brad Bradford has agreed to join us, 'any time, anywhere' but we can't have a debate without the incumbent... and these things take some time to plan!
Toronto CARP members are encouraged to implore Mayor Chow to commit to the CARP Debate! She joined us in 2014 and 2023 - we trust she had a positive experience then, and we promise another one in 2026.

Introducing the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program

Through retrofits undertaken via the Canada Greener Homes Program, participants can save $300–$1,700 annually and reduce their household’s annual emissions by about 1.5 tonnes. Over $500 million in funding, $300 million of which is federal, will be directed to help over 35,000 low- and median-income households reduce energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions through no-cost home retrofits such as heat pumps, insulation, and air sealing.

Happy Canada Day from CARP!
After a month spent celebrating seniors in many provinces, today we celebrate together as a nation.
As we mark Canada Day, we also recognize the generations of older Canadians who helped build the communities and country we call home.
It is a scorcher in many parts of Canada today, so please take care in the heat. Stay cool, drink plenty of water, and check in on your neighbours, friends, and family.
Wishing all CARP members a safe and happy Canada Day.
