Help Build a Future That Thrives Across Generations
What if living longer was not just about more years—but better ones?
By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or older. As life expectancy increases and older adults make up a growing share of the population, we have a unique opportunity: to create a society that not only adapts to aging—but thrives because of it. However, our systems, institutions, and ways of thinking have not kept pace. The result? A missed opportunity.
Aging affects everyone—individuals, families, and communities. Yet we often overlook the contributions of older adults and underinvest in the supports that promote their health, well-being, and quality of life. And in doing so, we miss out on the benefits that an aging society can offer. With the right investment and approach, an aging population can be a powerful driver of diversity, resilience, and innovation. But real progress also depends on something deeper: building stronger connections across generations.
What if we could unlock the full potential of an aging society—by making sure people of all ages can learn from each other, support one another, and thrive together?
We Can—And We Are
At the Centre on Aging, we are working to ensure that longer lives are filled with health, purpose, and meaningful connection.
Our mission is to improve the health, well-being, and quality of life of older adults through research and education. We bring together people across generations, disciplines, and sectors to address the opportunities and challenges of an aging society. Because when generations connect, everyone benefits.
Your Support Powers Real Change
When you give to the Centre on Aging, you help advance work that creates lasting impact. Your support helps reimagine aging—not as a challenge to be managed, but as an opportunity to be embraced.
Research that makes a difference
We support projects that explore new ideas, produce evidence, and transform it into age-inclusive innovations that can be applied across sectors.
Education that prepares for the future
We equip tomorrow’s leaders—from health and social care, engineering, the arts, and beyond—with the knowledge and skills to work in an aging and age-diverse society.
An inclusive university culture
Through our leadership of the Age-Friendly University initiative, we foster a campus where people of all ages can learn, work, and contribute—building stronger intergenerational connections in the process.
