The University of Ottawa has announced it will house the first International Longevity Centre of Canada through the Faculty of Health Sciences and join the International Longevity Centre (ILC) Global Alliance.
On its website, the worldwide ILC Global Alliance describes itself as a network of organizations that identify productive aging as an important topic and “promote educational, research and policy initiatives which will advance an active, healthy life throughout a life course.”
“As the Canadian population ages, there is a clear need for an International Longevity Centre in Canada,” said Margaret Gillis, founding president of ILC Canada.
According to a recent Statistics Canada report, it’s estimated that by 2031 the proportion of the population aged 65 and older will be 23 per cent, up from the current 17 per cent.
The centres work to address the overall well-being of the senior population and find ways to have an impact policy based on seniors’ needs and rights.
The Ottawa centre is expected to launch later this year.
