David Alward says the panel's role is to guide government investments in community development and services that help seniors live active, healthy lives.
The five-member panel will be chaired by John McLaughlin of UNB.
He says an aging population offers benefits and opportunities adding the skills and knowledge of seniors can provide opportunities for young people to learn new ideas and preserving the lessons of the past.
Project support and administration will be provided by the Atlantic Institute on Aging. The panel's blueprint will be delivered to the premier by this summer.
