Age-friendly communities and aging in the right place

I had the opportunity to participate in the AGE-WELL/APPTA Visions for Change Policy Challenge to learn and gain experience aligning research ideas with policy priorities. Here, I conducted a scoping review to identify the ways in which age-friendly community initiatives could improve the ability for older adults to age in their communities. This was prepared as both a policy report and presentation for governmental stakeholders and decision-makers.

I had the opportunity to showcase some of our work on HippoCamera with the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry at the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), which you can read more about here.
