Aging and Seniors—Publications

The publications of the Division of Aging and Seniors are a great source of reliable information about aging in Canada. Some are written with the general public in mind, others are targeted at professionals.

We’ve recently updated this section of our site. As a result, many publications were removed. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, a number of our past publications for seniors can be found on the Government of Canada Publications site.
