Episode Synopsis


This is part two of our four-part COVID-19 mini-series.

American feminist writer Betty Friedan once said, “Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” On this week’s podcast episode, hosts Dr. Allison Sekuler and Dr. Rosanne Aleong talk to older adults who embody this message by finding creative ways to preserve their minds, bodies, and spirits during the pandemic.

Joining us for this second installment of our COVID-19 mini-series is George Nakamura, founder of Clearmount Plastics Ltd., whose years spent working on a farm as a young boy taught him how to be adaptable and resilient in the face of loss and change.

We’ll also hear an engaging panel discussion with guests Richard Sheppard, a retired financial professional who shares his tips on resourcefulness and the power of active aging; and Angie Seto from the National Ballet School of Canada. Angie offers advice on how older adults can incorporate creativity, self-expression, and movement into their daily lives with the Sharing Dance Seniors program, presented in partnership with Baycrest.

The Community of Innovation Podcast COVID-19 mini-series is brought to you in partnership with Baycrest@Home.
