Aging
and Mobility is a multi-disciplinary research
project initiated by the CUI intended
to advance our understanding of critical
issues facing decision-makers and those
responsible for policy with respect to
the aging of society and the
subsequent impact on the quality of
life
The principal investigators are Glenn Miller,
Gordon Harris and Dr Ian Ferguson. There
are three main goals:
To put issues regarding aging and
mobility on the policy agenda and stimulate
appropriate responses by decision makers
at all levels of government.
To undertake research
in partnership with universities and
other stakeholders across Canada to create
a framework for policy and its effective
implementation.
To stimulate broadly
based responses at the community level
that will result in retrofitting and/or
mitigation of restrictions on senior
mobility.
