Dedication
The Division of Aging and Seniors dedicates this document to the memory of Margery Boyce (1932-1997), who devoted over two decades to the field of aging and seniors. She was a passionate advocate for all aspects of seniors' safety, and the inspiration for much of Health Canada's, and now the Public Health Agency of Canada's leadership in the area of seniors' falls prevention. Her deep concern for seniors is perpetuated in the work of the Division through its continued federal leadership on health issues related to aging and seniors.
