In Alberta about two years ago an elder abuse strategy for the province was developed, and in the last year and a half a coordinator for the prevention of elder abuse has been hired to work on some of the different strategies coming out of the strategy. I feel that in the province itself there's a movement towards really trying to identify the issue of elder abuse more clearly across the province, to create more awareness, and to develop these community responses I was talking about earlier. In all the smaller communities across Alberta, I'm hearing more and more that whole communities are getting behind these different strategies and trying to develop some kind of response. I know through the elder abuse team the education part happens.
We do presentations to students at the U of A and the U of C, and we're involved with presentations, with professional networks, and with other organizations. So that does happen, and I think it's probably the case in a lot of provinces that this kind of education is happening.
