With November being Diabetes Awareness month, Diabetes Canada has an opportunity for you and your staff to be a part of a unique event. Before taxes, interest rates and Saturday morning Costco trips, we were all children who, before anything else, wanted to have fun. However, for a child living with diabetes, life isn’t as simple. Between the fatigue, finger pokes and dietary balancing act, having care-free fun requires a lot of planning. Dodgeball for Diabetes is a chance for us to go back to live in nostalgia by playing the ultimate gym class game while supporting all those who have to take extra precaution to join in on the fun.
All the proceeds from this event and future Dodgeball for Diabetes events will be benefitting children living with type 1 diabetes in Manitoba, by supporting Manitoba’s D-Camp, Camp Briardale. The cost to participate is $250.00 per team; each team requires a minimum of 6 members and a maximum of 9 members. With limited availability, we anticipate the divisions to fill up quickly. To register, please contact 204-925-6191 or Chris.Ruiz@diabetes.ca.

OVERVIEW:
Join A & O: Support Services for Older Adults on Thursday, March 14, 2019 at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for AGEISM: AN AWARENESS EVENT: to examine the issue of ageism from legal, medical, and societal perspectives.
Canada’s population is aging and there has been a significant change in the number of older adults. In 2016, older Canadians made up 16.9% of the total population of the country and 15.6% of the Manitoba population. Older adults now outnumber children for the first time. This trend is expected to continue. It is projected that approximately 23 to 25% of the Canadian population will be over the age of 65 years by 2036.
Despite the aging of the population, negative images of later life persist. Ageism or discrimination against individuals based on their age – is widespread and generally accepted. The stereotypical beliefs that give rise to ageism are deeply embedded in our society. Ongoing efforts to address sexism and racism have shown that it is possible to change social norms. It is time to STOP defining people based solely on their age.
DETAILS:
The presentation will be highly engaging and draw on the best available evidence. It will involve creative video vignettes, expert panelists, and an opportunity for a question and answer session. We need to critically examine stereotypical beliefs about later life and take action to address ageism. It is time to say NO to ageism and YES to aging well!
*A wine and cheese reception will follow the formal presentation.
