Many older persons miss vital health & community services simply because systems assume everyone has reliable internet. At ILC Canada, we’re redesigning services so access doesn’t depend on age or tech skills. Inclusion starts with design. 🔍 #ILCCanada #DigitalEquity #OlderWomen

Our wonderful Ambassador @BobRae48 has won yet another well deserved honour.
Was very honoured to hear this news. The Pearson family and my own have been linked for nearly 90 years, and this brings the circle even closer. ttps://www.unac.org/bob-rae-recipient-of-the-pearson-peace-medal-2026/

Older women’s employment drops sharply in their late 50s due to age bias & rigid workplaces. 📉 The #NIA report proves this fuels economic insecurity. At #ILCCanada, we push for age-blind hiring, transferable skills recognition & phased retirement. 🇨🇦💼 #ILCCanada

Protecting the rights of #OlderWomen is protecting the rights of us all. 🇨🇦 At ILC Canada, we’re turning research into policy that removes ageist & gendered barriers, so older women can age with dignity & full participation. Because ageing rights are human rights. ✊ #HumanRights
