About this Event
Join the Age-Friendly Community Voices Series!
The Grand River Council on Aging and the Self-Regulation, Emotion, and Aging Lab at Wilfrid Laurier University invite you to participate in the Age-Friendly Community Voices Series. Across 9 sessions, we hope to hear about the experiences of folks aged 5-to-105 across the City of Brantford, County of Brant, and Six Nations of the Grand River.
Following the orientation session, each session will focus on a different pillar of age-friendly communities, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Folks are invited to attend as many sessions as they wish. Coffee/tea and snacks will be served at all sessions.
---------------------
This first session will lay the groundwork for the entire series: providing an overview of the WHO's conception of an age-friendly community, the journey of the City of Brantford, County of Brant, and Six Nations of the Grand River to be age-friendly, and the objective of these sessions.
Please register to this event (it is free!) if you would like to take part in the orientation session.

Registrations for future sessions will be separate, but an overview of topics, dates/times, and locations is provided below for your planning purposes!
