THE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR ELDER LAW
B. C. Law Institute.
British Columbia, Canada.
Program Description
“Older adults are as diverse as the general population. The impact of law and policy on their lives will depend on sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, immigration status, disability, socio-economic status, Indigenous identity and other factors connected to power and privilege in society. We strive to approach all our work with an awareness of vulnerability linked to identity and ensure we are including diverse perspectives.”
