The Centre on Aging, University of Manitoba, was established on July 1, 1982, with a mandate to serve as a focal point for the conduct of research on aging. The Centre has developed a national and international reputation for research excellence.

The experiences of aging individuals and the dynamics of an aging society are investigated using rigorous scientific standards. Community representatives contribute to projects, and the Centre distributes its findings to administrators, policy makers, practitioners, and seniors to assist them in making decisions.

The Centre on Aging believes listening to older adults and those who work with them ensures more appropriate research. Dialogue is encouraged through:

  • An annual spring symposium which brings together researchers and community representatives;

  • Informal seminars on current research and future directions;

  • Public lectures by internationally renowned researchers; and

  • A newsletter published three times each year.
