The Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) advocates for financial security and better access to healthcare for older adults, and leads the fight to end ageism. CARP is a non-partisan, non-profit association of 230.000 members, with a community of local chapters from coast to coast representing Canada’s most powerful generation – engaged citizens who believe in action and aren't shy about exercising influence on public policy. Membership in CARP comes with valuable benefits, including access to educational and informative webinars and newsletters, and the opportunity to volunteer with a local chapter and participate in social events.

National Representation
I very much appreciate having a national organization to represent the interests of older Canadians, and believe that CARP's advocacy continues to inform political and other stakeholders.
I gave the organization a 4 instead of 5 because I haven't received any benefit from product or service discounts yet and am hoping for a broader range of goods and services over time.
The “finger on the pulse” for Senors
I look forward to the emails as they are informative & keeps me informed on senior’s concerns, services & government issues.

I don’t like having to pay a fee for a plastic membership card. Since more retired people are older and less conversant with technology and less likely to have a smart phone (me, for example) and because I have always gotten a plastic member’s card before you’re charging me now for something that until now was included with my membership. In spite of that I would comment that Donald, your agent that I spoke with, was very personable.

Moved
I moved from Mississauga to Burlington in June and changed my address with CARP. However, I'm still getting emails re the Mississauga chapter and none re the Burlington chapter. Joe do I change chapters?

Thanks for your information
Advertise reasonable priced products
Carp seems to advertise higher priced services. It pushes those businesses. Not every senior can afford these higher priced places. How about sponsoring some more reasonable businesses.
Carp focuses too much on Eastern Canada…
Carp focuses way too much on Eastern Canada!
Even your discounts are usually only valid in Eastern Canada!
As usual, Western Canada is left out!
