We use the Low Income Cut Off (L.I.C.O) threshold which is determined annually by Statistics Canada to determine a seniors’ eligibility to access the Pay Your Life Forward Subsidy Fund.

Seniors can apply to the fund beginning in Winter 2026.

Eligibility will be determined based on household income. An applicant may qualify up to 100% of percent of their requested program, service or fee per activity session. In order to assist as many people as possible, only one request may be made per session based on available donated funds.

Application forms will be available as of January 1, 2026 both online and at any OSCC55+ front desk location. Our finance team will follow up with applications in the order received and as donated funds are allocated. All financial information collected will be held in the strictest confidence. Once approved, the subsidy will be updated in our registration system on the members' individual accounts for use.

Every donation to the Pay Your Life Forward Subsidy Fund will be tracked and allocated to applicants as soon as possible. Donated funds will flow to approved applicants in Spring of 2026.

Donations will be accepted beginning in December 2025.
