The Ontario Finnish Resthome Association

The Ontario Finnish Resthome Association Providing a home for seniors with resident-centered care while prioritizing quality of life. We pride ourselves in being "Homes with a Heart".

The OFRA is a non-profit charitable organization founded in Sept. 1971. It originated with a group of Finnish individuals whose goal was to build a home for seniors of Finnish & Estonian descent. While OFRA continues to honor it's Finnish & Estonian roots, over the past 4 decades it has evolved into what could be described as a microcosm of the "Canadian Experience". Today the OFRA is a mosaic of diverse cultures, a retirement community offering safe and affordable housing to all seniors in the Algoma district. We operate under the guiding principle that each resident be provided with the best environment possible within which they are able to maintain an optimum level of functioning and maximize the quality of their daily life.

💙 Thank You, Grand Parade Champions! 💙

Thanks to your incredible support, participation, and generosity, we’ve already raised $46,154 that’s 71% of our goal! This event would not have been possible without each and every one of you who joined, walked, donated, or cheered us on.

Thanks to your efforts, we’re already able to move forward with one of our meaningful projects new dining room chairs for our Kotitalo residents. Your impact is being felt in real and tangible ways!

And we’re not done yet! Fundraising continues until October 31st, so there’s still time to make an even bigger difference for our seniors.
