Over the past year, UFV’s Centre for Education and Research on Ageing (CERA) members spearheaded an initiative to achieve Age-Friendly University (AFU) status. CERA was awarded a Strategic Imperatives Plan grant through the Provost\u2019s office. This funding supported an audit of UFV\u2019s age-friendliness (video here<\/a>) in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n

We are proud to share that UFV is now the first Age-Friendly University (AFU) in British Columbia, joining eight existing AFU Canadian universities in this growing global network of academic institutions.<\/p>\n

A celebration of this achievement is being held:<\/p>\n

Wed, Oct 5
\n4-6pm
\nK170 – Abbotsford campus<\/p>\n

The principles underpinning AFUs are well supported by UFV’s Integrated Strategic Plan and provide direction for growth and support of educational programming and scholarship with a focus on ageing. We are excited for our next steps!<\/p>\n
