The pandemic has had a devastating impact on Canada’s older adults, significantly affecting their health and well-being. It has shone a public light on many important issues at the heart of aging: safety, independence, quality of life, human connection, and well-being.
It’s time for people with big ideas, passion and vision to get together to create a new future that embraces and supports healthy aging — body, mind and spirit.
As our population of older adults grows with longer life expectancies, Canadians have made their wishes clear. We want to stay in our homes and communities as we age. We want to have the independence, choice and the supports we need to live full lives connected to everything we love.
COURAGE: Action for Better Aging invites Canadians to get involved, to reimagine aging and spark innovation for change through important discussions and concrete ideas and plans.
