About RIA
The RIA is a product of the philanthropic spirit and vision of Dr. Ron Schlegel, whose family has been providing long-term care to Ontario residents since the 1950's. Co-owner of the eight long-term care facilities that operate under Oakwood Retirement Communities Inc., also the Village of Winston Park in Kitchener and the Village of Aspen Lake in Windsor, he has committed $6 Million over 10 years (plus additional annual contributions), to develop the Institute. Additional funds and in-kind supports were secured and continue to be solicited. Memoranda of Understanding are in place with the University of Waterloo, Conestoga College, and the University of Guelph for research and training activities.
