'It was also evidence that an older cohort has become galvanized to take climate action. Inspired by the passion and reach of young activists like Greta Thunberg, Canadian groups like SCAN, Climate Legacy and Grand(m)others Act to Save the Planet (GASP) are becoming increasingly visible and vocal. "It's not that we've had to convince people that it's important to join our group," said De Carlo, 76. "People have gravitated to us."Witnesses to a changing climate. De Carlo, who worked in the health and safety department of the Canadian Auto Workers union for 17 years, says he became environmentally conscious in the late 1980s, while helping to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals inside and outside factories. He said the work of David Suzuki and U.S. environmental author Rachel Carson also greatly shaped his views. Seniors for Climate Action Now! was born in July 2020, when De Carlo and four like-minded Toronto-area acquaintances signed a statement of purpose and posted it to Facebook. "Our view was that the seniors demographic was concerned about the climate crisis [and that] we were probably the generation that's been alive through this massive growth of the environmental crisis … and we were also concerned about the future generations," said De Carlo. "And so we reached out on that assumption." He says SCAN's Toronto chapter now has more than 315 members. If we take "senior" to mean a person of retirement age, there are more than 7.3 million people in Canada 65 and over, according to the most recent figures from Statistics Canada. This cohort made up 19 per cent of the population in 2022 and is forecast to comprise 22.5 per cent by 2030. Retirees taking social action is not an entirely new concept. The Raging Grannies, for example, formed in Victoria in the late 1980s to draw attention to nuclear proliferation, and the movement has since spread across North America to protest everything from war to genetically modified foods to police brutality. But seniors have become an increasingly prominent part of the climate movement. "The level of engagement and the form of it among older people seems to be changing dramatically," said Tim Gray, executive director of the Canadian advocacy group Environmental Defence." ...

On Tuesday, May 16th @lefrigovert , Sustaining Inclusion and @art.hives.hq.concordia teamed up for Palette to Plate. It was a unique experience that celebrated the importance of food in our daily lives paired with the power of artmaking as a way to bring people together. We made a delicious vegetarian meal of chickpea-stuffed sweet potatoes using fresh and locally-sourced ingredients.

“engAGE: Concordia’s interdisciplinary Centre

“engAGE: Concordia’s interdisciplinary Centre for Research on Aging is opening the doors to its new offices on the sixth floor of the ER Building. The centre, previously located in the Samuel Bronfman Building, aspires to change how we think about aging. engAGE brings together researchers, students, artists, community partners, policy makers and older adults to explore creative ways to study age. The centre aims to think beyond individual health issues to consider how social, political, and environmental contexts influence how people experience aging. Researchers at the centre are excited to welcome colleagues, students and older people themselves to the newly acquired and renovated spaces. The new space is more closely connected to the Sir George Williams campus, a short walk from the Guy Concordia metro and more accessible to people with diverse abilities. “The new space presents an exciting opportunity for researchers, students and community organizations to come together. It’s a place to run events, conduct interviews, exchange knowledge or work on different projects,” says Meghan Joy, interim director of engAGE and associate professor of political science. Workspaces are available to researchers and students from all faculties who are doing research related to aging. The space is wheelchair accessible and features meeting rooms and offices that engAGE research members, partners, and students can use. “‘Old’ shouldn’t be a bad word,” explains Shannon Hebblethwaite, founding director of engAGE. “We want to dispel the myth that aging is a problem to be solved. Older people have lots of strengths and capacities and have much to contribute to our understanding of aging.”

“This renewal will allow the Club de Bocce de l’Acadie and the Club de l’âge d’or Marcelin-Wilson to continue their activities, which for 20 years have attracted a large number of seniors,” said the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough in a release. The long-term future of the club remains uncertain, but the borough feels the club has time to figure out a new plan. “It’s great news for the elders of the bocce club […]. It’s great news for them because, you know, they went through a very, very big period of stress. All of fall was very, very hard for them. I spoke to them numerous time. Our whole team spoke to them many, many times. We tried to help them as much as possible. We put a lot of pressure on the administration. For us, it was unacceptable that we would just, you know, shut the lease on something that was this important,” said city councillor for the Bordeaux-Cartierville district in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Effie Giannou. “Let’s not forget, this is only until 2025. So for me, this is very concerning. And I’m going to get all the same phone calls all over again because it’s a very, very temporary fix. And again, this is 450 elders who use this center to, you know, break isolation to see each other, to discuss to. So what’s going to happen in 2025? What’s the long term plan?” Pietro Secondi, a member Marcelin-Wilson Golden Age Club, has called the Acadie Bocce Club home for 20 years. “We are happy to have at least three more years,” he said.
But once the end of 2025 comes, he says that the fight will pick up again.”

This year the Concordia Greenhouse would like to t

This year the Concordia Greenhouse would like to thank the urban agriculture community, food security groups, non-profit organizations that have gardens, our regular customers, and so many other folks who have made our seedling fundraiser the incredible success it has become over the years.

To show our appreciation this year’s seedling sale will be a charitable event where the Concordia Greenhouse is offering all of its seedlings free of charge to food security groups and non-profits that have a food security mandate or include it as an integral part of their programming. Many of you have purchased seedlings from us in the past, and several organizations have benefited from donations of leftover seedlings after our usual fundraiser. This year, we’re doing things in reverse - donating seedlings to those in need, then selling remaining plants to anyone on a pay-what-you-can basis (see details below.)

DATES & TIMES

Tuesday, May 23 to Friday, May 26; 11:00 AM -6:00 PM: Non-profit organizations, food security groups, and others that have a social justice mission but need seedlings for any of their gardens or programming may come and pick up plants for your gardens!

Limit of three standard-sized planting trays of plants per organization. Depending on demand as the week goes on (which we cannot predict at this time), this limit is subject to change.

IMPORTANT NOTES: No reservations - please come in person to the Concordia Greenhouse to browse what’s available. Unfortunately we do not provide packaging, trays, boxes, or bags, so please make sure to bring your own packaging to transport your plants. We will be noting your name, your organization's name, and contact information and may need to verify that your organization meets the criteria listed above if we're not already familiar with your group.

Any questions or special requests? Please email cgseedlings@gmail.com

👥 This session will discuss modern aspects of aging which are no longer simply age dependent. Modern “old age” is more dependent on abilities and interests than chronology. Today’s seniors are more physically and mentally active and several are engaged in continuous learning and teaching. Indeed, many are learning just as much from their grandchildren as their grandchildren are learning from them which has made society better for everyone. In keeping with this theme and realization, this will be an interactive session producing exchanges of ideas and varied ways of addressing today’s issues. Thus, enabling us all to learn from each other.

🗣️ Dr. Myrna Lashley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, McGill University as well as a researcher at the Culture and Mental Health Research Unit of the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research. She was an Associate Dean at John Abbott College. She holds a doctorate in counseling psychology from McGill University and serves as a psychological consultant to institutions, including the juvenile justice system.
