How will the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging help us to plan for the future? Does where you live influence how you age? How can you maintain functional independence as you get older?  Find answers to these questions and more at The Road Ahead for Older Canadians, a public forum hosted at the University of British Columbia.
