Recording of Community Conversations: Supports and services to age in place (2022-11-23)
This is the third event in the Community Conversation series and focuses on maintaining independence through community supports and services. Together, we’ll discuss the supports and services you feel you need to age in place and how to proactively plan for 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.
The event organizers (which includes seniors and representatives from organizations serving seniors) will use the discussion points generated by the series to inform groups/organizations serving seniors as well as various levels of government.
