There are currently one million Muslims living in Canada with the majority being immigrants with diverse ethnic and linguistic traditions. Although more Canadian Muslims are entering older age, there is still limited research evidence and policy focused on older Muslims’ lived experiences and needs in Canada. This Community-Based Participatory Study serves to describe the experiences of Muslim seniors and community stakeholders, with regards to healthy aging and related needs in Edmonton, Alberta. Sixty-four Canadian Muslims from multiple ethno-cultural communities in Edmonton participated in the study. Data collection occurred over a period of one year (2017-2018), using a combination of individual interviews and focus group discussions. A thematic data analysis approach was used to identify final study findings.
