2024 Canadian Leadership in Ageing Awards Competition Now Open

The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) at Toronto Metropolitan University, in partnership with RTOERO, is hosting the 2024 Canadian Leadership in Ageing Awards competition. These awards aim to recognize and celebrate outstanding leadership demonstrated by both graduate and undergraduate students across Canada.

Here are the details of the awards:

• The graduate award ($1,000) will be presented to a graduate student enrolled at a Canadian college or university who has demonstrated leadership in policy development or advocacy in support of older adults and healthy ageing.
• The undergraduate award ($1,000) will be presented to an undergraduate student enrolled at a Canadian college or university who has shown exemplary leadership in the area of older adults and healthy ageing through a project or research in the topic area.

Both of the awards will be offered Canada-wide and will highlight the leadership students have taken to address challenges and increase opportunities associated with Canada’s ageing population in the past year.
