Thank you for your interest! (Page en fran\u00e7ais ici<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n Our project explores the lived experiences of immigrant older adults. It studies the impact of immigration on aging within the context of life history narratives and photos. We interviewed 19 older adult immigrants who were born in various countries around the world and who are currently living in British Columbia and Quebec, about their life histories and experiences of aging. All of our participants took pictures of their daily lives to showcase their experiences and what is meaningful to them. Themes included housing and transportation, precarious employment, the impact of past trauma, family and care, community engagement and resilience. Our project highlights the impact of structural oppression on the everyday experiences of immigrant older adults using an intersectional life course approach. The resilience and resistance strategies used by older adults, their families and communities are showcased.<\/p>\n A “photovoice” exhibit showcasing the stories and photos of our participants was held simultaneously in Montreal and Vancouver in 2017 and was a resounding success with over 100 people attending in each location!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” module_id=”equipe-partenaires” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\u25bc Greater Vancouver Exhibit[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/creges.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/socialwork_website_exhibit_photos_final2.jpg” title_text=”socialwork_website_exhibit_photos_final2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\u25bc Greater Montreal Exhibit[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/creges.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/socialwork_website_exhibit_photos_final.jpg” title_text=”socialwork_website_exhibit_photos_final” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Following these exhibits, we expanded our team and organized a series of Stakeholder Outreach Forums in four regions across Canada (Greater Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Greater Vancouver) in collaboration with local community partners.

Our website showcases the materials we produced over the course of the project, including the Exhibit Catalogue, Regional and National Outreach Forum Reports and Regional Policy Briefs. We hope our work will promote awareness and support efforts to create change in order to improve services and supports to older immigrants in Canada, their families, and communities.

The Exhibit helps us understand people\u2019s unique life stories and the ways in which barriers might operate in their daily lives. We present both their challenges (such as barriers and discrimination, poverty and family disruption) and celebrations (such as building community, caring for family, contributing to society, faith and resilience). This project is a testament to the strength, resilience and determination of older immigrants. Their stories highlight how policies and services need to be more supportive, flexible, and accessible.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” module_id=”rapport-national” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/creges.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/coverrapportnational.png” title_text=”coverrapportnational” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The National Report<\/a> presents the results from all of our Local Stakeholder Outreach Forums across the four regions (Greater Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Greater Vancouver).
