The staff at Seniors Life Enhancement Centres consists of a supportive team of dedicated professionals who have specialized training and experience to respond with care to the unique needs of our clients and their caregivers

Seniors Life Enhancement Centres (SLEC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1989. Our strategic priorities are:

• Quality and Safety

Governance Structure
SLEC is overseen by a 10-member community volunteer Board of Directors that is elected in accordance with its bylaws.   Board members are selected based on their skills, expertise and desire to support the work of the organization.   The Board provides leadership, sets the strategic direction and priorities for SLEC.

The Board is accountable to its clients, funders, the community and donors.  It is accountable for appointing the Executive Director (ED) to achieve SLEC’s goals.  The Board oversees SLEC’s strategic direction and the performance of the ED, who in turn is responsible for implementing the strategic direction and daily operations.

“The Day Program is a life saver for me.” - The caregiver

“[The client] used to be alone, lonely and depressed. Nowadays she is back to herself, a happy person.”

“You offer a wonderful caring service for clients and caregivers.”

“Because the Bathing Program is in a salon setting, my mother feels that she is accessing a personal spa service, which makes her comfortable and happy.”

We acknowledge that SLEC is located on lands which have been the site of human activity since time immemorial. We are situated on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Attawandaron, Haudenosaunee, most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and is home to many Indigenous Nations from across Turtle Island, including the Inuit and the Métis peoples. These lands are steeped in rich Indigenous history, culture, and contributions that have shaped and continue to enrich our community today.

The Town of Oakville is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, specifically Treaties 14 and 22. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Treaty holders, for being stewards of this traditional territory. We are all Treaty people. Many of us have come here as settlers, immigrants, newcomers in this generation or generations past. We recognize those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery.

We are mindful of broken covenants and acknowledge the cultural, economic, and psychological harm done to Indigenous communities by colonial practices, discriminatory policies, and institutions. As we acknowledge these histories, we commit ourselves to truth, reconciliation, and healing. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonization and systemic injustices faced by Indigenous peoples and people of African descent. This commitment requires us to listen, learn, and act in solidarity with communities of Indigenous and African descent.
