Zoomers create a new vision of aging

• CARP becomes the exclusive Canadian member of the AARP Global Network, a worldwide network of associations targeting the same demographic. Created by AARP (with 40 million members, the largest association in the USA), the Global Network also includes Copenhagen-based Dane Age, and Italy’s 50&Piu Fenacom). CARP’s membership in the network will enable CARP members to receive benefits from the other associations. CARP members travelling to the USA, Italy and Denmark (and eventually other countries around the world) will receive discounts on products and services that the other associations offer to their own members.
