This document, prepared for the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Committee of Officials (Seniors) with representatives from provinces and territories, addresses the necessity for developing a vision for health aging that: values and supports the contributions of older people; celebrates diversity, refutes ageism and reduces inequities; and provides age-friendly environments and opportunities for older Canadaians to make health choices, which will enhance their independence and quality of life. The report looks at social connectedness and aging; physical activity; nutrition; falls prevention and tobacco control.
