We want to hear from Canadians 55+ about ageing in place

We are pleased to be working with Parachute Canada to spread the news of the first event in a series of Community Conversations co-created with seniors for seniors. Please share the event information below. Apologies if you are receiving this in duplicate.

Does your home suit your needs? Now and into the future?

Join the first in a series of Community Conversations on Wednesday, September 21st from 12-1:30pm (ET). The first session focuses on maintaining and building independence at home, wherever that is for you. Together, we’ll discuss home modifications and other considerations to make to ensure you are happy with where you are living now and in the future.

 

These Community Conversations are funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program and are co-created with seniors, for seniors. They are meant to create a virtual gathering space connecting seniors to share and address the issues that matter most to them when it comes to aging in place healthily and safely. You will have the opportunity to connect with other seniors across Canada, talk to an expert, learn about resources available to you and share your own experiences if you wish to. You can register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZctcu2prDMrGtxjsJyD1aysMxUgVL17rZ4O

Be sure to register early. Space is limited to the first 100 people.

 

The topic of discussion for the first conversation has been set, but event organizers are looking for people 55 years or older to fill out a brief survey to inform the focus of future sessions.
