Talk #2 of Aging your Way: Creating an Age-Inclusive Canada, Together

Using technology to stay socially connected has never been more important.  Social isolation and loneliness, already a problem affecting many older Canadians, has become an even more urgent matter during lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Learn how to use digital technology to stay connected with your loved ones and community, helping to prevent anxiety, depression, loneliness and other harmful effects of isolation.

This talk gives you an  exciting opportunity to  hear from two leaders in the fields of technology and aging:  Dr. Alex Mihailidis, Scientific Director of AGE-WELL,  Canada's technology and aging network, and Michael Tamblyn,  CEO of Rakuten-Kobo and AGE-WELL's Chief Entrepreneur. Laura Tamblyn Watts, CEO of CanAge (Canada's National Seniors' Advocacy Organization) will be moderating the talk.

This session is part of Aging your Way: Creating an Age-Inclusive Canada, Together: an educational speaker series brought to you by CanAge and Toronto Public Library.  View the complete series schedule.
