Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging

The Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging (CCAA) is a not-for-profit national research and education centre within the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Western Ontario.

The CCAA is unique in Canada as it promotes physical activity and the well-being of older adults through a combination of basic and applied research, educational resources and community-based programs. Basic and Applied research activities are the foundation of the CCAA’s community-based physical activity classes for seniors and the leadership training courses for individuals who work with the ageing population. Basic research is conducted by researchers and graduate students in the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Community Outreach team is responsible for applied research which takes place off campus at the Mount.

Over 450 London seniors participate in CCAA exercise classes each week. The physical activity class model is based on research conducted at the CCAA and includes cardiovascular, strength, balance and flexibility training. More than 1000 people from across Canada are trained in CCAA leadership training courses each year. These courses are also evidence-based and introduce physical activity programs for seniors across the mobility spectrum.
