The vision for a pan-Canadian approach to elder abuse was started under the 2008 Federal Elder Abuse Initiative. The Public Health Agency of Canada (2009) and Employment and Skills Development Canada (2012-2015) provided $1M in funding to develop It's Not Right! Neighbours, Friends & Families for Older Adults. New funding in 2019 has provided the means to update the INR website.
