Since 1977, the Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA) has been the voice of Ontario’s retirement communities, and we remain committed to setting a standard for operational excellence in the sector. ORCA represents more than 90 percent of all licensed retirement community suites in Ontario, employing 30,000 front-line workers caring for nearly 60,000 seniors who choose to call retirement communities their home. ORCA’s membership also includes over 220 commercial partners who provide essential products and services to retirement communities throughout the province.

For over 45 years, ORCA has been committed to advocating for a strong and prosperous retirement community sector by working with the government and other stakeholders on behalf of our seniors, the operators who provide their care, and the sector as a whole.
