Snacks & Science

Join us at MIRA | Dixon Hall’s 3rd “Snacks & Science” session to learn about social and community connections, hear the latest research on the topic, and learn about a new study coming soon to the Dixon Hall community to promote health, active living, and connections in older adults!

We will be joined by three presenters:

Rachel Weldrick, Toronto Metropolitan University
Janet Adams, Community member and research partner (EMBOLDEN study)
Rebecca Ganann, McMaster University and EMBOLDEN study lead

who will be speaking on topics such as:

Why is social connection important for our health and well-being?
Who and what can support us to be more connected socially and in our communities?
And what are some small steps we can take to be more connected? How can we work together to create a more connected community for older adults?

Social event and snacks to follow the talk.
