We are excited to announce that as of April 4th, 2025, the Ottawa Senior Pride Network has become a not-for-profit corporation. This will allow OSPN to continue to grow and evolve, expanding our services and funding potential for many years to come.

Our mission to you remains the same: to foster an inclusive, visible community; create an environment where we can connect, support, and celebrate each other; and to work towards equitable access and full participation wherever we go, through advocacy and education.

Our Core Values:

• Human Rights and Safety: We champion human rights, promote social justice, and advocate for the well-being of older queers.
• Empowerment and Resilience: Our programs aim to empower us to manage our well-being proactively and promote our autonomy. We recognize the inherent strengths of older queers.
• Diversity and Inclusion: We celebrate the rich tapestry of identities and abilities within the older queer population.
• Collaboration and Respect: We believe in achieving our goals through working with allies, stakeholders, and the broader community.
• Privacy: We respect the right to privacy of all members and support everyone’s decision regarding disclosure of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Thank you to Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) Canada for the funding to make this possible, and our Strategic Planning Committee for all of their dedicated work.
