    WISE: Age-Inclusive Workplaces
    2025/10/09
    In this episode we talk with Carolynne Mahood, Founder of On Your Own Time about why age diversity and inclusion in the workplace matters. Across Canada, many older adults who want or need to keep working are being overlooked, not because they lack ability but because of ageism. When older adults are excluded from meaningful work, it not only impacts their income and independence, it can also reinforce ageist stereotypes that contribute to social isolation, a known risk factor for abuse. One approach to building age-inclusive, future-ready workplaces is to provide employers with tailored and inclusive hiring tools that make it easier to create environments where experience is valued as an asset, not a liability. Our guest highlights an innovative program she Founded, W.I.S.E. (Wisdom. Inclusivity. Synergy. Equity), a national Certification program, that combats ageism in the workplace and recognizes workplaces that actively support and retain experienced workers through inclusive, flexible, and age-positive practices. In this episode we learn about: experiences older workers are having when trying to find workwhy age inclusion and diversity in the workplace is beneficialhow employers can be champions of age inclusion by becoming WISE Certified. To further bring awareness to ageism, this episode is also being launched on October 9th, Ageism Awareness Day in Canada. Led by the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism, this campaign amplifies efforts to raise awareness about ageism in all its forms and sectors—including workplaces. Our interview aligns with this year's theme: "Age is a Strength: Building Belonging, Challenging Ageism".

Understanding the legalities of a will, undue influence and court proceedings can be complex.

We explore these questions and dive into what undue influence is, the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that it may be happening, and how to recognize it and challenge it in court. In this lively discussion we equip you with the knowledge to help you feel empowered, and more informed about wills and estates. Until Next Time...

  • A Friendly Voice: Just a phone call away

    A Friendly Voice: Just a phone call away
    2025/09/03
    We all have a need for social connections, to talk to someone about our day, events in our lives, share stories or whatever is on our mind. Social connections, how we relate to and interact with others, are important to reduce social isolation and loneliness for all ages, but particularly for older adults as we age. In this Episode of Aging Vibrantly, we will talk with France Connor, Manager of 'A Friendly Voice', that provides a free call-in service for adults over 55 years old who live in Ontario or Atlantic Canada. When an older adult calls the toll free number at 1-855-892-9992 they will be greeted by a compassionate and caring volunteer who will listen to them. Each call may last up to 30 minutes and seniors can call as many as 3 times a day. A Friendly Voice is available from 8 AM - 10 PM (ET), 7 days a week/365 days a year. In this episode you will learn: How volunteers at A Friendly Voice are trained in having good listening skills, showing empathy and respect and to identify warning signs of abuse, neglect or fraud.Why maintaining connections can help older adults mitigate the negative impacts of isolation and loneliness, which are often associated with increased risks of poor health, depression, anxiety, elder abuse, disability and frailty.How keeping engaged with others can provide a sense of belonging, purpose, and even improve cognitive function and yes, age vibrantly!About the WHO (World Health Organization) recent study, that found 1 in 6 people on this planet feel lonely. In Canada, an estimated 1.6 million older Canadians feel lonely, which is almost one in five Canadian seniors aged 65 and older experiencing loneliness.
