How do we bring positive change to older Canadians across Canada?

• We listen to members, volunteers, and older Canadians. We also listen to the perspective of allied organizations and a diversity of experts. We do this through our chapter networks, and by inviting your prospecting through surveys, focus groups, webinars and emails;
• We educate; we provide information about issues impacting older Canadians to our members, the public, the media and the government;
• We engage CARP members so that your voice amplifies the issues that matter to you;
• We advocate through specific campaigns and governmental processes, like meeting with elected officials and speaking before committees and bill hearings.

Our advocacy work is through our national office, chapters, and YOU.
