Ageism Awareness

CCAA’s Call to Action for the Future of Aging in Canada

Protect the Rights of Older Persons in Canada Now

The election is over, and the time for action is now.

The promises made during the campaign must be followed through with concrete steps to eliminate ageism and ensure dignity and respect for older persons in every aspect of their lives.

We call upon our elected leaders and lawmakers to work with leaders of all other sectors—especially those within health, housing, and workplaces—to take immediate action to deliver and enact the necessary reforms for older Canadians.

Legislation

We call upon the government to introduce legislation to prevent ageism in healthcare, workplaces, and housing in a timely manner.

Workplace

We challenge employers to create workplaces that foster intergenerational collaboration and inclusion.

Housing

We call on leaders and authorities within the housing sector to implement policies that ensure accessible, affordable, and supportive housing for older persons.

Healthcare

We call upon the government to introduce legislation and policies to eliminate ageism in healthcare, ensuring that older persons receive timely, effective, and respectful care, with tailored services that meet their unique needs.
