Kicking Off Our 10th Anniversary Year: New Evidence, New Impact
Friends and colleagues,
We’ve kicked off our 10th anniversary year with the launch of our latest Ageing In Canada Survey. The 4th annual snapshot of Canadians’ perspectives on ageing is designed to ensure that evidence, not assumptions, guides how Canada responds to an ageing population.
Over the past decade, the NIA has advanced evidence-informed policy, convened leaders across sectors and amplified the lived experiences of older Canadians. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also looking ahead, with several exciting projects underway that will highlight our impact, strengthen partnerships and help shape the next decade of ageing research and action in Canada. You’ll hear more in the months ahead.
Highlights this month:
Our new Ageing in Canada Survey and event recording.
- A letter to the Ministers of Finance and Jobs and Families calling for the establishment of the Pension Delay Guarantee, endorsed by 76 leaders and experts reflecting broad national support for this simple, fair and cost-effective reform.
- Announcing the Canadian Leadership in Ageing Awards winners
- Alzheimer’s Awareness Month: It’s never too early—or too late—to protect your brain health.
- A call for stories for Shingles Awareness Week to raise awareness and promote vaccination.
- Welcoming Kevin Moore as Senior Researcher to our Financial Security Research team.
Together, these initiatives reflect both how far we’ve come over the past 10 years and where we’re headed next. Thank you for your continued engagement, partnership and leadership. We look forward to celebrating this milestone year with you and to another year of meaningful progress together.
