Nova Scotia's aging population is an untapped resource with a variety of skills, experiences and interests. The Redefining Retirement program is shining a light on this amazing group of people, and the important role they can play in invigorating our communities and rural economy.

Through a series of workshops, focused coaching session and peer support, facilitators will work with participants to expand an entrepreneurial culture among older adults. The intended outcome will be an improvement in their quality of life through increased engagement. Some may start a venture, while others are simply looking for an encore to their career, or a way to support their community; no matter the case, this program is about bringing together the resources and networks to help them improve their quality of life by accelerating their entrepreneurial pursuits.
The program is facilitated by a partnership through Third Sector Enhancement and the Acadia Entrepreneurship Centre.
Redefining Retirement was developed through the generous support of the Nova Scotia Department of Seniors, as part of the implementation of SHIFT: Nova Scotia's Action Plan for an Aging Population.
