Centre for Elder Research
We provide a unique environment for conducting applied research into areas of practical concern and immediate relevance to older adults and their families. We develop innovative approaches and creative interdisciplinary partnerships that focus on enhancing the lives of older Canadians.
Our team
At the Centre for Elder Research, we put our motto, from Lab to Life® into practice every day. This is possible only because of the many highly motivated and qualified members of our team, the dedicated members of our Advisory Board and our broad network of partners and supporters.

Sheridan Musical Theatre Students' “Love Letters” to Seniors' Community Buildings
Sheridan Musical Theatre Students wrote and performed cabaret songs especially for the older adult participants of our Putting Food on the Table Project. These cabaret numbers were written and performed for the residents of particular buildings (or groups of buildings). They are “love letters” to the residents of the buildings and tell tales of community, food and togetherness.
