Niwaas Long-Term Care
We’re proud to have founded Niwaas, Ontario’s first long-term care home focused on serving
Punjabi and Sikh seniors. This 160-bed facility delivers culturally responsive care through
familiar food, language, and traditions, ensuring dignity and comfort for our elders.
We secured over $50 million in provincial funding and are now leading a $20 million capital
campaign as Chair of the Fundraising Cabinet.
