The project, which was supported by the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) at Concordia University, was funded by the Soutien aux initiatives visant le respect des aînés (SIRA) program of the Provincial Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés.

The launch will include presentations of statistical data from the 2011 Canadian Census and the 2010 provincial CHSSN/CROP Survey of Community Vitality, as well as the findings from our own project survey which was carried out from August to December of 2013 in eight selected regions of Quebec. The morning's presentations will be followed by a lunch and community discussion of the research findings.
