Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

• A meaningful seniors’ discount at Tim Hortons can help improve well-being, encourage social connection, support seniors living on limited incomes and create more inclusive and compassionate communities across Canada;
• Older adults remain at high risk of social isolation and loneliness: 43% remain at a high risk of social isolation and 57% experience loneliness — unchanged since 2022;
• Social engagement is declining: participation in social or recreational activities once a week or more fell from 39% to 33% over the past year, with affordability the most significant barrier (The 2025 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey);
• Sinai Health reported that financial strain can limit seniors’ ability to remain socially connected, affecting both physical and mental health, and that 43% of Canadians aged 50+ are at risk of social isolation and 57% report experiencing loneliness;
• These realities impact more than physical health as, when seniors cannot afford simple social outings, and isolation deepens;
• Tim Hortons is a social eatery for Canadians which can engage a vital role in easing out the social isolation in our seniors; and
• The current seniors’ offering at Tim Hortons is fragmented, insufficient, and lacks uniform application across Canada.
