The Canadian population is aging rapidly, making it imperative that our communities are ready to support the well-being and inclusion of older adults. As our collective attention is increasingly fragmented, we aim to:
- Highlight how age-friendly work fits into big picture conversations; and
- Enable attendees to strategically incorporate age-friendly talking points into their conversations.
Attendees will leave with a culture shift – an ability to leverage broader policy or structural level priorities to align with and further local age-friendly initiatives.
This event will integrate lived experience, research, and practice-based evidence to support age-friendly development. Additionally, there will be hands-on opportunities to build practical skills to support your own age-friendly work.
The event is intended for municipal staff, community leaders, people who work with older adults, policy makers, older adults, those in the age-friendly community and beyond.
This free three-day virtual event is organized into three themed days:
- Day 1: Embracing the Opportunities of an Aging Society: Shifting perspectives, strengthening economies and supporting care.
- Day 2: Building Age-Friendly Futures: Inclusive communities, technology, and climate resilience for all ages.
- Day 3: Supporting Age-Friendly Community Initiatives: Funding and communications.
