Membership

The Halton Seniors Advocacy Group is made up of CARP members and recommends CARP membership.  CARP is a National non-partisan, non-profit organization that advocates for financial security and improved health care for Canadians as we age. With over 300,000 members (Nearly 600,000 including spouses) and nearly 50 Chapters across Canada, CARP plays an active role in the creation of policy and legislation that impacts older Canadians.

CARP operates under a unique business model. Through affiliation with Zoomer media, CARP has access to multiple media platforms. CARP affiliated partners provide a full slate of benefits to members, often covering the cost of membership.

CARP works closely with all levels of government and collaborates with other organizations to advocate on health and financial issues. CARP uses the media and enlists members’ voices to increase its clout as an effective advocate. . You can find information about CARP by clicking HERE
