Resident Council
The Princess Court Resident Council is a member of the Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils which was formed in 1981, by a small group of residents living in long-term care. Since that time, OARC has continued to grow and gain member representation from Residents’ Councils province-wide, to better reflecting diverse experiences of people living in long-term care.
OARC’s Mandate

To encourage and support the formation and operation of Residents’ Councils in long-term care homes;

To assist and encourage residents in sharing and consolidating ideas and promoting policies that improve the standard of care and quality of living for all residents; and
To educate the community about issues faced by residents of long-term care homes with a view to improving the standard of care and quality of living for all residents.
