Aging Well
·OnlineOnlineCFIC is continuing our series of Town Hall gatherings. Once a month, we gather on Zoom to discuss a selected topic relevant to our society and our democracy.
Join this month's discussion via Zoom on April 19th at 8 pm ET.
Canadian society is aging, and the number of seniors and retirees continues to grow. Aging is often accompanied by physical and cognitive challenges, reduced independence, and, too often, social marginalization and undervaluation.
In our next Town Hall Zoom meeting, we will explore what “Aging Well” means—or should mean—what individuals can do to support healthy aging, and what responsibilities society holds. Are retirement homes the best solution for an aging population? Are there more inclusive, socially integrated models? What other approaches to senior care should we consider?
Please join us for this important discussion on April 19 at 8 p.m. ET on Zoom.
Background Document: Coming soon
These meetings are not planned as webinars; the format will be a moderated discussion in which attendees debate. Our objective is to nurture a culture of respectful and open-minded discussion, thereby fostering democratic and participatory citizenship. We will provide a background document to introduce the topic and will also include some questions, available for download from the CFIC website, a week ahead of the Town Hall meeting.
