This survey was posted on the website and paper copies
were distributed through seniors' organizations and at conferences. All
completed questionnaires were compiled in a database and the results are
now available.
Although we are no longer collecting data from the
questionnaire, it is shown below for your information.
The
purpose of this project is to answer the question: What
policy decisions have or are being made that are
affecting the quality of life of Canadian Seniors?
Over the course of this project we will be talking to
many seniors, service providers, and government staff
about these issues and how to improve the quality of life
of Canadian seniors.
