Celebrating 20 Years -Welcome!
The NSCA works in collaboration with many others to advance knowledge on aging-related issues. Our work includes conducting research projects and evaluation studies; organizing lectures, workshops and conferences; developing and reviewing curricula; developing educational materials such as manuals, information kits and videos; and providing consultative services to community, organizations and government. We invite you to learn more about us by viewing our current and past projects and the resources we have produced. It is our goal that through research, education and community engagement the NSCA will inform policy and practice to enhance the quality of life of older adults and their families.
2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the NSCA and we are planning a special celebration! On April 19, 2012 we will host a dinner at the Mount's Rosaria Student Centre with a showcase and reception starting at 5:30 and the dinner at 6:30pm. The guest speaker for the event is Silver Donald Cameron with emcee Olga Milosevich. Our anniversary theme is “Our Future is Aging”. We chose this theme because it captures where we as a society are headed (our population is aging) and it reaffirms the work and mission of the NSCA to generate knowledge that informs policy and practice on aging related issues.
Other anniversary events include an interdisciplinary conference on aging which will be held in November of 2012 and a Café Scientifique entitled "Care of Older Adults across the Continuum: Experiences, Expectations and Policy Directions" on May 10th (more details soon). We are excited about our upcoming events and we encourage you to join us to celebrate our 20th anniversary. For more information on the anniversary dinner and to register, please see below.
