CONNECTION
For us, knowledge sharing is crucial to breaking out of silos to improve the quality of life of older adults across Canada. We take a connectivity approach to complex challenges, bringing people together from across the country to share their best ideas and work collectively on effective policy solutions.
We believe in
PROGRESSION
APPTA has a suite of policy education programs designed to build the skills needed to bring great ideas into the real world. We work with undergraduate and post-graduate students through internships, national challenges, and professional development programs to foster their ability to enrich the policymaking process with strong evidence-informed decision-making.
