How to have essential conversations about aging and care

Listen Now

Meeting the needs of our aging population

By 2040, the population over 80 will more than double, but our perceptions of aging and plans for seniors’ care innovation have not kept pace.

Let’s change the conversation.

Coming of Age features host Donna Duncan, CEO of the Ontario Long Term Care Association, in lively discussions with national and international experts on ageism and how to reimagine seniors’ care.

With thanks to our listeners, Coming of Age is now an award-winning podcast, recognized for excellence in public service by the 2024 Signal Awards and outstanding podcast hosting by MarCom Awards 2024.
