At The Voice of Our Seniors, we believe that advocacy must begin with awareness. Our Research & Legal Advocacy program is focused on uncovering the systemic barriers that older adults—especially Black Canadian seniors—face and transforming that knowledge into real-world solutions.
This program uses research, storytelling, legal education, and policy outreach to ensure our elders are not just cared for—but protected, respected, and empowered.
Seniors living with or at risk of dementia, particularly in Black communities
Family caregivers and community advocates
Service providers seeking culturally informed practices
Policymakers, legal advocates, and healthcare professionals
Donate: Help us publish more reports, fund training, and compensate elder contributors.
Share Your Story: If you’re a senior or caregiver, your lived experience matters. Reach out to take part in our interviews.
Attend an Event: Join one of our upcoming panels, legal talks, or research presentations.
Connect Us with Policymakers: Know someone who should hear what we’re finding? Let’s collaborate.
Our communities cannot support what they don’t understand. Without representation in research, law, and public discourse, the most vulnerable seniors are often silenced.
Our work brings forward:
The voices of Black elders living with dementia
Barriers faced by racialized seniors in the legal and healthcare systems
Data that reflects real community realities—not just national averages
