An aging population also means that accessibility in public spaces should be a public policy focus in Canada. Is your city age-friendly? What standards would you like to see in public accessibility policy in order to support an aging population where you live?
Aging was viewed as a pressing international policy issue as far back as 1982, when the UN adopted the Vienna International Plan of Action on Ageing. At its core was a focus on how governments and society could adapt to aging populations. https://t.co/FBGSkpfKV4
Great co-housing program idea for seniors and students @McMasterU. As Canadian society ages, we must look to ideas and policies like these to handle our demographic shift.
