À propos de CARP English

CARP, formerly Canadian Association for Retired Persons, is Canada’s largest Advocacy Association for Canadians as we age. CARP’s mission is to advocate for better healthcare, financial security and freedom from ageism (age discrimination). CARP members engage in polls and petitions, email their elected representatives, connect with local chapters and share stories and opinions on urgent issues. CARP members also get more than 100 benefits and discounts in healthcare, lifestyle, traveling and many more.

CARP croit qu’une population vieillissante constitue un enjeu de société qui ne doit pas préoccuper seulement ceux qui atteignent un certain âge ou une certaine étape de leur vie. C’est pourquoi nous avons retiré l’exigence d’âge de 50 ans pour se joindre à notre organisation et que nous insistons sur la nécessité de créer des relations intergénérationnelles harmonieuses et positives. Nullement besoin d’être à la retraite pour devenir membre.
