Knowledge Translation

Welcome to the Active Aging Canada Community of Practice. Our online community of Canadian practitioners, facilitators, administrators and researchers with a shared interest in sharing, disseminating, and applying knowledge of the key role of active aging in lifelong healthy aging.

This Community of Practice will facilitate the movement of pertinent knowledge to those who work with older adults and older adults themselves. It will organize and connect researchers with community organizations.

With our unique feedback loop incorporated into our Knowledge Translation Framework, we will have a direct line of communication from knowledge users on unmet needs, what works, and how to improve implementation of research.
