Ageism Awareness Week 2025

Age Is a Strength: Building Belonging, Challenging Ageism (October 1 – 9)

A celebration of connection, inclusion, and rights at every age.

ILCC Canada and CCAA have organized the annual ageism awareness week campaign from October 1 to October 9. 

Ageism Awareness Week  is a collaborative national campaign led by the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism (CCAA), in alignment with the International Day of Older Persons (October 1), Canada’s National Seniors Day (October 1), and Ageism Awareness Day in the U.S. (October 9). This week amplifies efforts to raise awareness about ageism in all its forms and sectors—healthcare, media, policy, communities, and workplaces.

We encourage members, allies, and partners to share the campaign widely.
