Provincial Advisory Committee - Ontario Centres for Learning, Research, and Innovation in Long-Term Care

The Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC) is a 14-member team with representation from long-term care (LTC) homes, residents, family members, associations and academia.

The Role of the PAC

Provide advice and guidance on CLRI initiatives
Provide feedback on CLRI tools, resources and communications
Share knowledge, resources and innovative practices
Identify priorities and challenges for long-term care homes
Identify opportunities for collaboration, networking and knowledge mobilization
Communicate to key decision-makers in their respective communities

Additional Input

The diverse needs of those living and working in LTC are also supported by an Ontario CLRI advisory committee that identifies and develops resources for diversity initiatives (language, gender, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation) and Indigenous culture.

The input we receive guides the direction of leading practices in research, influences priority setting at more than a dozen regional and provincial sector committees and working groups, and helps the Ontario CLRI prioritize resources and training for future development.
