PART 4: MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre
The MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre was created in April 2021 as a collaboration between McMaster Institute for Research on Aging (MIRA) and Dixon Hall – a multi-service agency situated in downtown Toronto that focuses on poverty, social injustices and isolation, across the lifespan. Dixon Hall is well established and celebrated for its commitment to comprehensive client care to support Toronto’s most vulnerable, including lowincome, homeless and precariously housed older adults. The MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre is nested within MIRA to extend and expand on MIRA’s reach, while targeting populations of citizens for whom mobility work can have positive outcomes. This collaboration will assist to improve quality of life and enable older adults to live with dignity through purposeful initiatives planned over the short- and long-term. The MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre’s work is enabled by a generous donation by Suzanne Labarge.
