Aging

Supporting people to live well as they age

The Brenda Strafford Foundation is advancing new approaches to support quality of life as people age.

Through research, innovation and collaboration, we work with partners to strengthen independence, wellbeing and meaningful social connection and explore community-based approaches that respond to the changing needs and experiences of older adults.

Our focus is on generating evidence, connecting expertise and advancing promising solutions that can contribute to better experiences of aging in Canada and beyond.
