• Ottawa Seniors' Pride Network

    Community Needs and Programs Survey

  • The Ottawa Seniors' Pride Network (OSPN) has provided a range of social and health-related programs and activities to 2SLGBTQ+ seniors in the Ottawa area for fifteen years. We want to enhance our effectiveness by reaching out to you, our community, to better understand what you need and seek in the coming years. Please help us by completing this survey, which will take approximately fifteen minutes of your time. It will provide us with critical demographic and health information, along with your programming preferences. It also gives you an opportunity to provide us with narrative comments. Our findings will be available to you in a consultant report, which will be available in the spring of 2024.

    The OSPN’s Recovering and Rebuilding Organizational Capacity Post Covid Project is funded by the Government of Canada under the Community Services Recovery Fund.
