The research colloquium, Reflecting on Aging: Setting New Directions, dovetails with the celebration of IdeaFest. IdeaFest is an initiative of the Office of the Vice-President Research taking place March 5 to 9, 2012.  The Centre on Aging is hosting ARC, a one-day event to provide students, faculty and community researchers an opportunity to share aging-related research findings with faculty, students, government, the Vancouver Island Health Authority, and other community partners and interested parties.
