2025 National WEAAD Virtual Event: Age With Attitude!

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), observed globally on June 15th, unites communities in protecting older adults' right to age with dignity and security. Recognized by the United Nations, this annual observance combines education, advocacy, and celebration to create positive change. Canada's network of elder abuse prevention organizations works year-round to provide support and resources, with WEAAD serving as a powerful platform for awareness and action. Together, we're building communities where every older adult can age boldly, safely, and with the respect they deserve. Like previous years, CNPEA, EAPO, CanAge and many provincial partners, invited Canadians of all ages to become a champion of elder abuse prevention and to stand up for the rights of older people. This year, we challenge you all to age with attitude! This event was a lively, interactive panel discussion with speakers who are engaged in changing the way we think about aging and treat older people, promoting the rights of older persons in their own way. They shared their knowledge and initiatives to address ageism and discussed different approaches to help build more inclusive, safer communities for all ages. Ending ageism and elder abuse begins with acknowledging seniors have the right to live with dignity and respect. Change can happen if citizens, advocates, professionals and leaders in communities and governments work on a shared vision to prevent violence and abuse of older people in their homes and communities.
