[Report] Equity Diversity & Inclusion Report 2024
Healthy Aging Alberta (HAA) is dedicated to creating an inclusive and equitable environment where older adults across Alberta can age with dignity, connection, and choice. Recognizing the vital role of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in achieving this vision, HAA has embarked on a journey to embed EDI principles into our structures, strategies, and partnerships.
In February 2024, HAA engaged More Than Enough (MTE) Consulting to support this critical work. Their experience in guiding organizations to integrate EDI principles into design processes, coupled with HAA’s commitment to collaborative leadership, allowed us to connect with 247 community organizations through regional gatherings and 126 individuals through focus groups. These engagements uncovered insights into the needs and priorities of Alberta’s diverse older adult population.
HAA wishes to express its gratitude to MTE Consulting for providing time and expertise, ensuring a strong EDI foundation upon which to build. This report is based on MTE Consulting’s report to HAA and all insights and conclusions shared in this report are based on MTE Consulting's findings. “This report not only provides a roadmap for addressing current challenges but also lays the foundation for ongoing collaboration and advocacy supporting the diverse needs of older adults across the province.”
