The Chair submitted a brief to the Secrétariat aux Aînés du Québec refining four themes presented during the government consultation: ageism, psychological mistreatment, organisational mistreatment, and wellness care.

Under the SSHRC’s Joint Initiative funding program and in partnership with the Fédération de l’âge d’or du Québec, this one-year $25,000 grant enables the completion of the project entitled Co-development of an Ethical Frame of Reference to Counter Organisational Mistreatment of Older Adults in Québec.

The Global Report on Ageing contains the latest findings on this subject, which, unfortunately, has grown in importance since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Launched on February 23, 2021, the five-year (2020-2025) Concerted Action Plan is the result of ‘… an extensive public consultation held from Autumn 2019 to Winter 2020 and the work of 17 ministries, organisations, and all political parties represented in the National Assembly.’
