Age-Friendly Communities Canada Hub

Learn. Connect. Share.

The Canadian Association on Gerontology is excited to announce the launch of the Age-Friendly Communities Hub, a new online networking and knowledge exchange platform to bring together stakeholders and to showcase the exciting Canadian work in this area.

About the Hub

The Hub was conceived and designed to raise awareness of age-friendly communities work in Canada and to bring together all stakeholders interested in this area. The Hub has a number of exciting components, all of which are accessible through the Hub website at http://afc-hub.ca:

  • Showcase of Community, Researcher, and Student Profiles
  • Blog of new happenings in age-friendly communities
  • Resource and Stakeholder Inventories
  • Webinars
  • Events Calendar

You can also follow the Hub on Twitter and Facebook and join our mailing list.

Get Involved!

The Hub has been designed to engage—so we encourage you to submit your own content for inclusion in the Hub: submit profiles for the Showcase, discuss upcoming projects in the Blog, submit your own content to the Resource and Stakeholder Inventories, and add your events to the calendar.  Please see our guidelines for content submission.
