Attitudes on Healthy Aging in Canada: A National Survey of Canada's Seniors

As a part of our mandate, we regularly consult with seniors on a myriad of topics and also consult with a broader group of stakeholders to make well-informed, evidence-based recommendations to all levels of government to advance the rights and wellbeing of all Canadians as we age. Please see our policy book at canage.ca/voices However, these consultations have been generally been focused on one specific topic, and largely these conversations and perspectives have centred around COVID-19 and the impacts of the pandemic before, during, and after lockdown periods. We feel it's an excellent time for Seniors be broadly surveyed on a number of topics to best understand their attitudes on inflation, gasoline prices, housing, healthcare, environmental considerations and financial security - among others. Possible reference datasets (not including the Census 2021 data) from Statistics Canada, and other notable information from global sources has been included under "Resources & Files".
