Veterans Affairs committee  There would probably be information available with respect to the particular program that we ran with Veterans Affairs, but it wouldn't necessarily be generalizable to the full population of veterans and seniors across the country.

Veterans Affairs committee  No. It was a four-year program to test ways of getting both veterans within communities and seniors working together and engaging with other partners within their communities to test out ways that they could either endorse or support prevention activities, or intervene where ther

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. We expect about 130 participants. It's a combined Canadian and international experience. Some of the countries will include Japan, Australia, Lebanon, and South America. I think we sent an invitation to people from Peru, for example, who have been very active with sen
