The Future of Aging Summit is part of RTOERO’s Vibrant Voices Advocacy focus. Together with partners, RTOERO advocates for critical policy improvements to address urgent needs now and create a more secure and compassionate future for everyone.
“As a national non-profit membership organization of workers and retirees from the education sector in Canada, our commitment to social good runs deep,” says Jim Grieve, CEO of RTOERO. “We see ourselves as facilitators and changemakers—because we can all be—in big and small ways. Everything is connected.”
The summit is designed for policymakers, researchers, engineers, designers, planners, community organizers, advocates, and anyone else focused on supporting healthy aging, ending ageism and building age-friendly societies. RTOERO members will be provided with a code to access the virtual keynotes at no cost. They are welcome to register for the event at the non-profit rate if interested.
