The Ontario Long Term Care Association's Education Fund was established in 1969 as a way to provide financial assistance to member home personnel who are looking to enhance their long-term care knowledge and skills. All proceeds from the OLTCA's annual golf tournament is donated to the Association's Education Fund, which provides financial assistance to staff in member homes pursuing continuing education initiatives to enhance their knowledge and skills in long-term care. Since 1969, the Association has awarded more than 570 member employees with more than $395,000 in bursaries.
