[Toolkit] Let's Talk About Ageism

In 2022, the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors Forum (Government of Canada) invited organizations to provide feedback on ageism. Age Friendly Edmonton enthusiastically used this opportunity to host a forum and gather insights from Edmonton's older adults. We extend our gratitude to the Ministers Forum for inspiring the Edmonton Age Friendly Alliance to create the "Let’s Talk About Ageism: A Toolkit to Start the Conversation."

Edmonton Age Friendly Alliance is a network for the well-being of older adults. We bring allies together to help make our city more age friendly. This means recognizing diverse populations and the needs of seniors, and actively supporting their inclusion, engagement and well-being.

What is the purpose of this toolkit?

This toolkit aims to help people of all ages talk about aging and ageism through the format of a Conversation Café. This toolkit provides resources for planning, preparing, and leading discussions on aging and ageism, complete with promotional and evaluation materials. We encourage you to unleash your creativity and customize the content to align with your audience, needs, and goals.
