Upcoming Events

HelpAge Canada prioritizes meaningful engagement with a growing network of community organizations, government and NGO collaborators, global partners, and purpose-driven sponsors and donors like you, who share our commitment to lasting impact and equity in ageing. Whether convening policy roundtables on Parliament Hill, coordinating CBSS consultations across every province and territory, or hosting international events at the United Nations, our efforts are grounded in impact and guided by the diverse communities we serve.

Through dynamic outreach, trusted relationships, and cross-sector collaboration, we drive dialogue, co-create innovative solutions, and help shape policy and practice to reflect the lived realities of older people. By amplifying community voices and fostering connection across geographies and generations, we’re focused on building a stronger CBSS sector in Canada and a more positive, inclusive approach to ageing, everywhere.

We welcome sponsors and supporters to join us. HelpAge Canada offers meaningful ways to engage locally, across Canada, and internationally, through collaboration, visibility, and impact. Together, we are building a more age-inclusive future, where all older people can lead secure, healthy, active, and dignified lives.
