Registration NOW OPEN!
Frailty matters. 1.2 million Canadians 65-plus live with frailty as do 2.5 million Canadians who are their caregivers and hundreds of thousands more in our healthcare workforce. Canadians 65-plus account for nearly half of Canada's healthcare spending (almost $100 billion), but only 15 percent of the population.

JOIN US and learn, network, brainstorm new ideas, address key questions and challenges at Canada's only conference on the complex and critical issue of frailty.

VISIT the Storyboard Forum featuring innovations from across the country.

LISTEN to our expert speakers and Top Innovators as they discuss their innovative work to improve care for older adults living with frailty and/or support their caregivers.

This conference is for practitioners, care providers, scientists, clinicians, citizens, caregivers and experts in the field of frailty. Together we will present and discuss, the latest knowledge, evidence, approaches and policies that are transforming care and seeding the next generation of breakthrough innovations.

CFN is Canada's only national network dedicated to older Canadians living with frailty and all responsible for their well-being. The Network has funded and catalyzed new research, knowledge, practice, education and training across the full continuum of care. This conference is a unique opportunity to examine frailty from many aspects/perspectives at a single event.

Seniors/Caregivers of older adults living with frailty: $25

[A Former User]

Wondering why there is a need to expense to caregivers, a $25.00 fee? Let us please remember caregivers of frail seniors who are on fixed incomes will also be paying their own transportation costs, meals & perhaps parking/accommodations, if coming from out of town.

Caregivers are significant "unpaid" stakeholders. How does this $25.00 fee benefit, demonstrate, translate into our health system being patient/caregiver centered? Just wondering?
