Led by Professor Heather McKay and Associate Professor Joanie Sims-Gould, University of British Columbia-based Active Aging Research Team brings together scholars, community stakeholders and government to address needs, issues and opportunities of an aging society. Together they seek to positively impact the health of older adults through a focus on social connectedness and mobility through physical activity. Through co-leadership of a large number of community-based initiatives such as the Re-imagine Aging research cluster at UBC, Active Aging BC and development of an Implementation Science Hub focused on older adults they work toward achieving their goals.
