General

The Canadian Association on Gerontology (CAG) is Canada’s premier multidisciplinary association for those who research, work and have an interest in the field of aging. Our vision is to be the Canadian authority on individual and population aging. Our mission is to improve the lives of older Canadians through the creation and dissemination of knowledge in gerontological policy, practice, research and education. Membership is open to everyone — members save on their conference registration fees among other benefits — for more information and to join the CAG, please visit the Association website.

Our Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting is a multidisciplinary event attended by all those with an interest in aging, including researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, community organizations, industry, students and older adults, among others. Delegates represent a diverse range of disciplines and professions including the health sciences, basic/clinical sciences, social sciences, humanities, social policy and practice, and more. Anyone interested in attending the event may register

Our Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting is typically attended by 500 – 600 delegates drawn from a diverse spectrum of professions, disciplines and interests in the field of aging.
