National Institute on Ageing 10-Year Anniversary Event


This year marks an important milestone for both Canada and the NIA.

As the NIA celebrates 10 years of advancing research, shaping policy and convening conversations on ageing, Canada has reached a historic demographic milestone of its own. We are now a super-aged nation, with more than one in five Canadians aged 65 and older.

Canadians are living longer than ever before. As Canada becomes a super-aged nation, we have an opportunity to ensure our health, housing, retirement income and caregiving systems evolve to meet the needs of an ageing population. The question is no longer whether Canada is ageing; it is whether we are prepared for what comes next.

This hybrid event will feature an interactive panel discussion with NIA experts Alyssa Brierley, Dr. Samir Sinha, Dr. Bonnie-Jeanne MacDonald and Talia Bronstein, who will explore what it means for Canada to be a super-aged nation, the opportunities and challenges ahead, and the actions needed over the next decade to make Canada the best place in the world to grow older.

Equity in Dementia Care: What Are the Gaps and How Can We Improve Care for the People Who Need It Most?

Diversity is Canada’s strength; yet this strength is often overlooked or forgotten about when providing care for people living with dementia across Canada. This causes many people – including people living with dementia and their primary unpaid caregivers – to fall through the cracks, receive inadequate or culturally unsafe care, and miss opportunities to improve […]
