Who we are: Active Aging in Manitoba (AAIM) is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to the promotion of active aging opportunities for all older Manitobans to enhance their health, mobility and continuing participation in their community.

n 1954, the City of Winnipeg was awakened to the needs of its most senior citizens. New developments in medicine had begun extending people’s life spans and increased the number of people living into their sixties and up – including a large ratio who came through the depression years when making or saving money was difficult. The Welfare Council of Greater Winnipeg undertook a major study of this new, older population. Prompted in part by the fact that Winnipeg’s aged population had almost doubled since 1941, the study was financed by The Winnipeg Foundation and was the first survey of its kind in any Canadian city. It was called Age and Opportunity, and became the agency’s namesake.

Creative Retirement is a non-profit organization committed to offering educational programs for older adults.  They believe that learning is a lifelong endeavour and should be accessible to all. Therefore, the majority of their programs are offered at no cost to the patrons.

The Vision of the Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability (ALACD) is a society where all Canadians lead active and healthy lives. When physical activity is in your life, health and wellness benefits are exhibited. The Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a disability (ALACD) develops and disseminates resources and tools to help organizations to create inclusive opportunities and welcoming environments. Working in partnership with our member organizations, we assist them to fulfill their commitment to inclusion of people with disabilities.

To inform and educate Manitobans on transportation options that enhance quality of life and promote age friendly communities.
In 1999, a wide-range of community stakeholders concerned about the inadequacies of transportation options for older adults came together to form the Transportation Options Network for Seniors (TONS). Through the development of partnerships that facilitate information-sharing and awareness-building, the goal of TONS is to promote mobility resources that are affordable and adequate for the needs of older Manitobans.
