A non-profit community centre is offering a virtual conference to help people over the age of 50 meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cummings Centre, based in Montreal, has opened registration for a bilingual national conference called
Aging Well: Adapting to the New Reality to be held online on January 21, 2021.
Canada’s official languages are English and French, and while the conference will be mostly in English, there will be simultaneous French translation.
A large proportion of the Canadian population is over the age of 50 because there was a baby boom after the end of World War II in 1945. Out of a population of 38 million, almost 14.6 million or 38 per cent are over the age of 50.
