    History

    The Ontario Advisory Council on Senior Citizens was first established on April 24, 1974 under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Secretariat for Social Development. It consisted of fourteen members appointed by Order-in-Council.

    In 1985, when the Provincial Secretariat for Social Development ceased to exist, the Advisory Council reported to the Legislature of Ontario through the Minister without Portfolio for Senior Citizens’ Affairs. In 1990, the council was transferred to the Ministry of Citizenship.

    The Council was abolished in 1996, at which point the work undertaken by the Council was transferred to the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat.
