Team
Our teams work hand in hand; the NORC Innovation Centre (NIC) at UHN provides the design and implementation of the NORC model in select sites in Toronto including Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation sites. They team up with onsite building committees and residents to offer events and supports that are tailored to their needs.
Barrie Housing leads the implementation of NORC programming in selected sites in Barrie, under the guidance of NIC. Women’s Age Lab focuses on studying the implementation process in Toronto and Barrie to understand enablers and barriers to implementing successful NORC programs. All partners are highly collaborative and value equitable resident and community engagement in the implementation and research processes.
