UFV's Centre for Education and Research on Ageing (CERA) is proud to share that UFV is the first Age-Friendly University (AFU) in British Columbia.
Being an Age-Friendly University goes far beyond increasing older student enrollment. It means considering physical accessibility in building additions and renovations on campus, supporting older students as they pursue second careers or lifelong educational interests, and ensuring inclusivity by providing meaningful opportunities for older students to be active in the core activities of the university. It also means spreading intergenerational awareness among the younger students and broader community, helping to combat ageism by ensuring older students are involved, respected and heard
