(1/2) Our first advocacy day, Ageing on the Hill, showed just how urgent ageing issues are in Canada. We brought the conversation directly to Parliament Hill, creating space for real dialogue on how public policy can shape a better future for adults and caregivers 🇨🇦

(2/2) What we learned: there’s strong demand for age-inclusive policy (35+ MPs requested meetings), ageing is cross-partisan and there’s a strong call to act now, including strengthening Bill C-16 to protect older adults. Ageing is a national priority, and the momentum is real.
