BC Association of Community Response Networks (BC CRN) in partnership with Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario, Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder AbuseCanAge and provincial Elder Abuse Network partners, are inviting Canadians of all ages to attend our Annual Online WEAAD Event, "Be Bold: Age With Attitude" on June 11th from 10:00am – 11:30 am (PDT)


We’re inviting all Canadians to join us for a lively, interactive panel discussion with speakers who are engaged in changing the way we think about aging and treat older people, promoting the rights of older persons in their own way. They will share their knowledge and initiatives to address ageism and discuss different approaches to help build more inclusive, safer communities for all ages. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers through a moderated Q & A period.  


By shedding light on these important issues, we hope to foster a greater awareness of the challenges faced by older Canadians and the need for further action to counteract ageism, support elder abuse prevention, and foster respect, and safety and restore the rights of older persons.


We all have a role to play in protecting the rights of older people. No matter where you live in Canada, you can be part of this shared journey to create a safe and supportive society.


Sign up now for our National Virtual Event to secure your spot for this important day and share widely with your networks!
