Full Description:
How does physical activity support you to age at home, wherever home is for you? What do you need to better maintain, adapt or enhance how you are physically active throughout the day?
Join us on Wednesday, October 19th from 12-1:30pm (ET) at the second event in a series of Community Conversations. This session will focus on maintaining and enhancing well-being and independence through physical daily activities. Together, we’ll discuss getting and staying physically active and other considerations to ensure you are able to realize the health benefits of active living.
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.
The purpose of these conversations is to gather insights directly from seniors to inform future resources and services for seniors. The event organizers (which includes seniors and representatives from organization serving seniors) will use the discussion points generated by the series to create recommendations for the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program and other groups/organizations serving seniors.
