The City of Thompson will play host to two University of Manitoba workshops on the topic of aging on September 26th. 

The first workshop, called “Reframing our views on aging”, will take place in the T.R.C.C. multipurpose room from 9:30am until 12:00pm. The focus of this session will be being providing sound information and practical solutions for how to communicate effectively about aging-related issues. The workshop is aimed at anyone who communicates about aging, including staff and board members of organizations related to older people, teachers, students and researchers.     

The second workshop, which will take place from 1:00pm until 3:00pm, focuses on healthy aging. This workshop is intended for older adults, researchers and decision makers to learn more about the World Health Organization’s Global Strategy and Action Plan on Aging and Health.  

Both workshops are being offered free of charge, but pre-registration is required. If you’d like to register, you can find the required information for “Reframing our views on aging” here, and information for the healthy aging workshop here. 

Registration for both workshops will close on September 19th, one week before the Thompson sessions are scheduled to take place.
