NICE is The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly in Canada.

We offer Information Tools and Online Resources based on 20 years of research into the challenges of aging in Canada.

The research agenda was made possible by the generous support of National and International grant funding, obtained and directed by Dr. Lynn McDonald, NICE Scientific Director, and the dedicated members of the NICE research community. We are deeply grateful for their contributions.

The Information Tools were available as glossy printed brochures displayed in doctors' offices, retirement homes, municipal offices, outreach centers, churches, and other places supporting seniors.

Printed NICE Information Tool Brochures


Now, we are updating and making the Tools available in a variety of digital and print formats, ensuring everyone can access them in a way that suits them best.

You can find the Information Tools on our website at https://www.nicenet.ca.

You can read the online version, print the tools for local distribution, or listen to the audio version on the website or via podcast.

NICE Information Tools Digital Versions


We are improving the tools by adding online resources such as shareable videos and handpicked links to external websites.
