<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Le PNHA est un programme fédéral de subventions et de contributions visant à soutenir des projets qui aident à améliorer le bien-être et la qualité de vie des aînés canadiens et

au bien-être des aînés et de leur communauté. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
