The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) is proudly not-for-profit.
We strongly believe that ageing should be a triumph not a burden.
WHO WE ARE
The National Institute on Ageing is a Ryerson University think tank focused on the realities of Canada’s ageing population. Through our work, our mission is to enhance successful ageing across the life course and to make Canada the best place to grow up and grow old.
WHAT WE DO
We are Canada’s only think tank dedicated to policy solutions for an ageing population. We work at the intersections of healthcare, financial security, and social well-being.
EVIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE DRIVEN RESEARCH
Our reports are founded on the strongest available evidence and original research. Our work is led by experts and practitioners in the fields of financial security, healthcare delivery, and public policy.
COLLABORATION
With the backing of Ryerson University and our partners we work across private and public sectors to explore the challenges and opportunities of an ageing population.
CONSTRUCTIVE PUBLIC POLICY
We advocate for solutions that promote the evolution and sustainability of Canadian systems and programs. Our goal is to shift public policy and make Canada a place where ageing is a triumph and not a burden.
