On #NationalSeniorsDay, let's celebrate the seniors in Kitchener-Conestoga and across Canada who have given so much.

They’ve raised families, founded businesses, taught us lessons, and so much more.

Today and every day let’s give them the love and support they deserve - they certainly deserve it!

Today we honour Inuit Elders — knowledge holders, survivors, and guides.

As an Inuk End-of-Life Doula, I walk with our Elders at the end of life in the spirit of pijitsirniq — to serve with compassion and care.

Nakummek to those who have walked before us!

By 2050, nearly 2 billion people will be 60 years or older. With migration on the rise, the question is:

Are we ready to support equitable aging for older migrants?

But first, what is equitable aging?

“The ability of older migrants to age with dignity, access to culturally appropriate care and the opportunity to thrive regardless of their migration history, language or socioeconomic status.”

By 2050, nearly 2 billion people will be 60 years or older. With migration on the rise, the question is: Are we ready to support equitable aging for older migrants? But first, what is equitable aging? “The ability of older migrants to age with dignity, access to culturally appropriate care and the opportunity to thrive regardless of their migration history, language or socioeconomic status.”

Aging migrants often face intersecting barriers:

- Language difficulties
- Limited healthcare access
- Cultural misunderstandings
- Systemic discrimination

For those with precarious legal status or from marginalized groups, the situation is more complex:

- Limited access to culturally appropriate care
- Economic insecurity
- Social exclusion

Aging migrants often face intersecting barriers: - Language difficulties - Limited healthcare access - Cultural misunderstandings - Systemic discrimination For those with precarious legal status or from marginalized groups, the situation is more complex: - Limited access to culturally appropriate care - Economic insecurity - Social exclusion

There is still much to learn about equitable aging in the context of migration. Researchers, however, have found four components that can help achieve health equity:

Accessible and inclusive services
Example: addressing key aging needs such as cognitive and mental health.

Supportive aging policies
Example: legal protection in the form of citizenship status.

Familiarity with the host country’s healthcare system
Example: culturally tailored education on disease prevention.

Community engagement initiatives
Example: mentorship from community leaders.
