SAINT PAUL UNIVERSITY

In 2015, Canada officially became an aging society. We now have more people aged 65 and over than under the age of 15. Statistics Canada reports that, over the next 20 years, the cohort of people aged 65 years and older will continue to grow at a pace of four times faster than the population at large. This dramatic shift to an aging society deeply affects the many dimensions of human living on both a personal and collective basis. Current circumstances of an aging society call for multi-sector and multidisciplinary exploration and analysis to identify critical concerns and propose appropriately adapted practices. Saint Paul University provides a rich learning environment in which to explore critically and creatively the many issues and conditions that affect the way humans live, relate and make meaning.
