Our mission is to advance the rights and wellbeing of Canadians as we age.

Our vision is for older Canadians to live vibrant and connected lives. 

Our work turns intent into impact.  We measure our success through tangible results: engaged supporters, actions taken, lives changed, and missions fulfilled.

Our work is guided and informed by our commitment to:

Inclusion - we respect people, value diversity and are committed to equality

Participation - we value and recognize the contribution of volunteers within the organization and communities

Quality - we strive for advancement and improvement of the lives of older Canadians 

Openness - we are committed to a culture of collaboration

Innovative - we are open to great ideas, different perspectives, new solutions

Principled - we take an independent, evidence-based approach to our policy work 

CanAge is an independent nonprofit advocacy organization which educates, empowers and mobilizes people on the issues that matter most to older Canadians. 

​

We work collaboratively with corporate, nonprofit organizations, the media and governments to amplify seniors issues, influence policy and effect change.

We have done projects and events
which  include supporting greater understanding of seniors' issues with: financial institutions, corporations, regulators, government, associations, police and first responders, academic institutions, health care organizations and nonprofits.
