HelpAge Canada wants to hear from you 👇🏽

We want to hear from older women and the communities that support them! 💬

HelpAge Canada is inviting women aged 55+, as well as leaders and volunteers involved in community-based services, to share their experiences and ideas through a short survey. We want to better understand what helps older women feel financially secure, supported, and able to thrive.

Your perspective can help shape a better understanding of what older women need.

Take a brief survey to share your experiences 📣➡️ https://loom.ly/bTIRI40

Terrific resource. Uncertainty about access to a restroom is often reported as a barrier to being out socially and being active:

A topic that is not talked about a lot, is the impact of incontinence on the social health of older adults. Not being sure where one can access a public washroom is a big deal and can keep people home. Check out this app "Go Here", an amazing free resource from Crohn's and Colitis Canada that maps out public washrooms on google maps: https://ow.ly/BmkZ50XlKib

🎉IT IS OFFICIALLY ACTIVE AGING WEEK!🎉

Active Aging week is a weeklong campaign held October 5th-11th, that celebrates the positivity of aging and living actively and promotes the benefits of an overall healthy lifestyle!

Active Aging Week encourages adults over the age of 50 to take advantage of all that life has to offer.

Celebrating older adults is an important way to promote positive images of aging!

Many people have negative ideas and attitudes about aging. For example, some people believe that getting older means being inactive, unhealthy, and dependent – but this is rarely the case.

In fact, older adults are living longer, healthier, more independent lives than ever before!

✨How will you be celebrating Active Aging Week this year!? Let us know in the comments below!✨
