SORRY COURSE IS FULL
What can we learn about the aging process? It is clear that maintaining independence, as opposed to simply living longer, is the key goal of most seniors today. How can we increase the chances that we achieve that goal? Its not all about genetics or blue zones. Come and discuss why the body ages, what changes occur each decade, and how we can modify the risk factors for the mental and physical problems we associate with this developmental stage of life. Get lots of tips for maintaining vibrancy, and more information about the current research on aging in Canada.

LEADER: Jean Hewitt
In 2000, my father’s diagnosis of Vascular Dementia was the trigger that led me into looking closely at how the brain ages. Most of my career in Education had been spent focussing on how children and adolescents grow brain as they develop. To watch the reverse process taking place began a new journey for me. I have spent the last fifteen years learning from published papers and observing my own aging processes, how we age, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have also worked as part of various research projects, most recently, the SuperAgers study out of the Universities of Chicago and Western. Now in my 86th year, I am happy to share what I have learned.
