National Framework on Aging Seniors Policies and Programs Database
The Seniors Policies and Programs Database is an Internet-based application which provides
current and credible information on a wide range of Federal/Provincial/Territorial policies,
programs and services designed for seniors, such as health, housing and income support.
Endorsed by the FPT Ministers Responsible for Seniors, this analytical tool was developed to
assist policy analysts to: 1) access information about policies and programs affecting seniors
in all parts of Canada; 2) compare policies and programs across jurisdictions and learn from
each others' experiences; 3) better understand the impact of policy and program changes
across departments and jurisdictions on the health and well-being of seniors; and 4) develop
policies and programs that meet the real needs of older Canadians. It also serves as a valuable
source of information, both within governments and outside, to individuals and groups interested
in seniors and aging issues.
