Senior Speaker Series: The Future is Old: Confronting Ageism for Better Health and a Brighter Tomorrow, and Mindful Downsizing

Join us for a thought-provoking two-part presentation focused on aging with confidence, purpose, and preparedness. In the first session, Jenna Wickens of MatureMinds, CFS Counselling and Wellbeing, will explore the impact of ageism, one of the most common and often overlooked forms of prejudice. Learn how age-related stereotypes affect our health, well-being, relationships, and communities, and discover practical ways to recognize and challenge ageist attitudes in ourselves and others. Together, we'll explore how changing the narrative around aging can create better health outcomes and a brighter future for everyone.

In the second session, Team Jordan will present on Mindful Downsizing, a thoughtful approach to simplifying your home and preparing for the future. Whether you're considering a move, planning to age in place, or simply looking to create a more manageable living environment, this presentation will offer practical strategies for reducing clutter, organizing possessions, and focusing on what matters most. Learn how an organized living space can support independence, improve home safety, reduce stress, and provide peace of mind. With tips for preserving meaningful memories and making confident decisions about belongings, this session will help you navigate life's transitions with clarity and confidence.
