Nancy Garrard, Director of Health Canada's Division of Aging and Seniors, gave concluding remarks for the workshop. She congratulated and thanked the participants for the high quality of knowledge, expertise and wisdom that had been contributed over the three days. The synergies and interrelationship of the issues, the risk factors and the partners gathered at the workshop are extremely important to understanding healthy aging. Coming together in a national forum enables reflection on complex issues. She recognized the importance of the message that seniors and front-line workers be involved in all stages.

She finished by acknowledging all those who participated and thanking the facilitators and the team from Health Canada who organized the workshop.
