Centre for Education and Research on Aging

Join us for CERA Day 2026 at UFV Abbotsford campus! Celebrate the International Day of the Older Person on September 25 with a full day of free workshops, learning sessions, and a keynote presentation.

The Centre for Education and Research on Aging (CERA) was launched at UFV in 2006 with the goal of facilitating a collaborative process between educators, researchers, practitioners, students, older people and caregivers in the Fraser Valley to learn more about the issues surrounding the aging process.

The centre promotes gerontological research and educational programs at UFV and in senior communities in the Fraser Valley. It serves as a source of information about aging for UFV students and the broader community.
