Overview:

The Older Adult Centres' Association of Ontario (OACAO) is pleased to announce that we are introducing a year-long project that offers our Links2Wellbeing partners an opportunity to integrate a nature prescribing program to complement their social prescribing program. This can be either a new outdoor program or one that builds on an existing nature-based outdoor program.
