Why we're hosting the Summit
By 2030, nearly one in four Canadians will be a senior. Most want to age safely and with dignity in the homes they love. The technology exists. The infrastructure to deploy it at scale doesn't. Closing the gap takes more than great technology. It takes partnership, integration, and the caregivers, care teams, and families who make aging-in-place possible.
My mom Maggie is part of why this matters to me. So are the millions of Canadians who deserve to age safely and with dignity at home.
