Represent the Government of Canada at the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors Forum.

What success looks like

Federal, provincial and territorial governments collaborate for the advancement of common priorities to improve seniors’ well-being.

Government's narrative on progress

The Forum of FPT Ministers Responsible for Senior brings key Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Ministers together, providing an important vehicle for discussing issues of importance to seniors, for sharing information on seniors’ well-being, and undertaking initiatives to advance issues of common concern. The Forum is implementing a multi-year work plan (2018-2021) whose current priorities are aging in community, labour force participation of older workers, and addressing ageism. The FPT Seniors Forum published the Promoting the Labour Force Participation of Older Canadians Report (in June 2018) as well as supplements to a tool kit on the social isolation of seniors in November 2018. The next FPT Seniors Forum meeting is scheduled for May 21 to 22, 2019. During this meeting, Ministers will receive for their approval three deliverables identified in the Forum’s three-year work plan. These will include: the Report on the Core Housing Needs of Seniors, the Report on Community Supports for Aging in Community, and the Report on the Impact of Public Policy on the Labour Force Participation of Older Workers.
