Halifax university hosts conference on the future of aging
A two-day conference in Halifax will explore how people can age with dignity and equity.
The third edition of the 'Our Future is Aging' conference will be held at Mount Saint Vincent University on Tuesday and Wednesday. Major speakers include Dr. Anne Martin-Matthews from the University of British Columbia and Dr. Charlene Chu from the University of Toronto.
'With over 75 oral and poster presentations, the conference promises a dynamic and multidisciplinary program,' a news release reads. 'Topics will range from health and caregiving to housing, policy, technology and beyond.'
Previous editions of the conference were held in 2012 and 2016.
'As Canada's population grows older, the questions being asked at this conference matter more than ever, not just for researchers and policymakers, but for families, caregivers and communities across the country,' the release reads.
