Open Scan on Nov 27th: Futures of Aging
Join Creative Futures and the CSA Public Policy Centre on November 27th to explore the futures of aging, and what it could mean for cities.
By 2040, it is projected that 22.7% of Canada’s population will be over 65 years of age, up from 17.6% in 2019. Canada's aging population poses significant challenges and opportunities for health & well-being, homes & living arrangements, relationships & belonging, economy & finances, leadership & decision making and many others. While Canada is not alone in this demographic shift, there are a wide range of policy implications associated with these population dynamics.
Earlier this year, Creative Futures teamed up with the CSA Public Policy Centre to conduct a future-focused research project on aging in Canada, exploring future possibilities and implications. Join us on November 27th to review this research (report to be released soon!), and discuss implications for municipalities across Canada.
Please note: This session is highly interactive and not a webinar.
What is Open Scan?
Open Scan is a virtual gathering of Canadian municipal* innovators who are interested in applying their strategic foresight knowledge and learning with peers.
At each session, Creative Futures shares the latest emerging trends, and facilitates a series of foresight activities to explore long-term implications.
This is a highly participatory session, not a webinar. At each session expect to:
Learn about the latest emerging changes that may impact the municipal context;
Discuss implications of emerging changes with fellow foresight practitioners; and,
Join a broader group of municipal innovators and foresight practitioners to learn from each other and support your work.
*Open Scan is designed for municipal innovators, from government, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations, who have some knowledge of strategic foresight. However, it is open to everyone.
