As people and organizations interested in aging, we thought you may be interested in this free virtual conference. The Silver Economy Summit 2021 is being presented by the province of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Department of Seniors on May 27 and 28.
We know that the COVID-19 pandemic requires full focus and attention for so many Canadians. We are very grateful for their work. The pandemic also means “stay home and be safe,” which may make this an ideal time for a virtual conference.
The Silver Economy Summit will showcase the positive impact of older adults in the province, help participants understand the trends, needs and interests, and highlight the opportunities that this growing demographic presents.
Keynote speakers include Dr. Olive Bryanton, M.Ed, Ph.D, a PEI-based educator and advocate for older adults; Dalhousie Medical School assistant dean Dr. Gaynor Watson-Creed; and motivational speaker and entertainer Terry Kelly. The summit will conclude with a “call to action,” to ensure these important topics live beyond the conference.
Older Canadians are the backbone of their families, the voluntary sector, and their communities. Join us to learn about the work, tools, supports and resources in place that can help them continue to contribute their talents, knowledge, and experience.
