Consultations on the Social and Economic Impacts of Ageism in Canada: “What We Heard” Report summarizes input received from across Canada in 2022 from the FPT Seniors Forum-led roundtable consultations and stakeholder-led consultations and the ageism questionnaire. Preventing and Responding to the Mistreatment of Older Adults: Gaps and Challenges Exposed During the Pandemic, summarizes the results of a comprehensive literature review and survey responses from 249 stakeholders across Canada on the key gaps and challenges related to mistreatment prevention and response exposed during the pandemic. These reports highlight the role all Canadians have in challenging ageism in various contexts, how the mistreatment of older adults can be better prevented and how at-risk older adults can be better supported. They will inform future approaches, initiatives and strategies to address ageism and the mistreatment of older adults in Canada.
