@geronews.bsky.social🇨🇦 Back at @sfugero.bsky.social , where I studied gerontology, and reunited with Prof. Gloria Gutman.
From Canada to @WHO_Europe, one idea stays with me: #HealthyAgeing depends not only on healthcare, but also on the #AgeFriendly communities we create.
@geronews.bsky.socialHonoured to join @ILCCanada’s distinguished ambassadors in a volunteer role #ILCCanada
My focus: connecting people and ideas for #AgeFriendly communities in Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you, @Margaret Gillis & @Kahir Lalji, for the invitation
@bchc.bsky.socialGreat communication starts with respect.

@geronews.bsky.social🙌🏻 Great conversation this morning with Prof Stefano Campostrini @ Ca’ Foscari University. Lots of shared interests and exciting possibilities ahead
Looking forward to working together on #HealthyAgeing, #AgeFriendly communities and turning evidence into action
@geronews.bsky.socialPaul McGarry has helped shape #AgeFriendly movement — and is a trusted friend
Our conversations often come back to belonging: good design matters, but so do connection, participation & feeling we have something to contribute
That’s what makes a community truly AgeFriendly
@bchc.bsky.socialCanada's population is getting older, and so much of that story is about connection. Older adults volunteer, care for grandkids and support families, strengthening communities for every generation. Learn more: tinyurl.com/2dk2ajsf #bchc #agefriendly
@pvpcma.bsky.socialPVPC and local partners gathered in Ludlow to celebrate the region’s official designation as an Age and Dementia Friendly Region! We’re proud to work with communities in creating places where people of all ages and abilities can thrive. 💙

@placemaking-canada.bsky.socialAge-friendly places are people-friendly places.
And placemaking is about creating spaces where everyone has a place, a voice, and a reason to belong.

@geronews.bsky.socialSome relationships outlast the meetings.
Nearly a decade of conversations, ideas and friendship with Geoff Green through our work on #AgeFriendly communities.
People. Places. Connection. Participation. Contribution.
The things that matter throughout life.
@bchc.bsky.socialVancouver older adults are rediscovering the freedom of childhood bike rides. Cycling Without Age pairs volunteer "pilots" with trishaws, helping older adults get outside, reconnect with community, and feel the wind in their hair again.

@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialWe have so much
in common, we who
age over time
@lunarbandanas.bsky.socialWhy don't we as a society adjust our value systems to include elders?
Rather than sending them to their rooms with a bot. 🤷🏻♀️

@bchc.bsky.socialAccessibility, adaptability and connection make all the difference as we age. From safer sidewalks to welcoming shared spaces, small design choices help older adults stay independent, engaged and part of the community they call home.
