recreation programs <strong>in</strong> Toronto,<br />
neighbourhoods with the largest population<br />
of seniors and percentage of the total<br />
population <strong>in</strong> each neighbourhood that<br />
are aged 65 and over. As shown, some<br />
neighbourhoods <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>ner suburbs with<br />
large populations of seniors have relatively<br />
few recreation program sites compared<br />
to other neighbourhoods. It is also<br />
important to consider whether areas with<br />

recreation programs sufficiently to meet<br />
<strong>in</strong>creased need.<br />
