The Aging Population Policy Framework defines and articulates the Government of Alberta’s roles and responsibilities in responding to the needs of an aging population. It is intended to provide clarity to other governments, sectors, stakeholders and all Albertans about how the Government of Alberta intends to act in a number of key areas. However, addressing the needs and priorities of the aging population is not solely the responsibility of the Government of Alberta. Individual Albertans and their families, communities, and other governments also have various roles and responsibilities in this regard.
