Ageism is one of the most widespread yet overlooked forms of discrimination—shaping policies, systems, and everyday interactions.

To help Canadians better understand and challenge it, the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism (CCAA) has launched two free resources:

🧠 Ageism Awareness & Education Module (15 minutes)
A quick introduction to what ageism is, how it shows up, why it harms, and what each of us can do. Certificate included.
👉Explore the module: https://ccaageism.ca/ageism-awareness-education-module/

The module is available online in English, with French and Spanish coming soon.

📘 Ageism Toolkit
A practical guide with examples, strategies, and tools for individuals, organizations, and communities to take meaningful action.
👉 Grab the toolkit: https://ccaageism.ca/ageism-toolkit/

Both resources are designed for people of all ages and across all sectors.
