Diversity & Social Inclusion

Support Diversity and Social Inclusion for Older Canadians

Keep older adults active and engaged. This requires investment in transportation, technology and community programs. Fund community programs that support intergenerational interaction. Remove physical and other barriers that limit participation for older adults in our society. Fund research into social isolation and inclusion to help guide the best investments.

Impacts of Social Isolation

Lack of a supportive social network is linked to a 60% increase in the risk of dementia and cognitive decline

Socially isolated seniors are 4 to 5 times more likely to be hospitalized and have a higher likelihood of falls

Join the Fight
