| Every Seven Seconds a boomer becomes
a senior in this Country. It is incredible to think that
in just a few short years, there will be more seniors
in our province than children under 15. Join us as we
help you prepare for this "grey wave".
The good news is
that older people are healthier than ever before, and
more are reaching an older age. Improvements in science
and public health have led to increased life expectancy.
Chronic disability rates among the 65-plus age group
are falling. Seniors are living longer - and healthier
- than ever before.
It is with great
pleasure that we invite you to the Grand River Region
and to the City of Guelph, as you attend this year's
OACAO Education Forum and Tradeshow.
Our education program
this year will capture topics within four broad themes:
The Politics of Aging, The Community and Aging, Health
and Aging, and Critical Issues in Aging. We believe
we have put together an excellent roster of education
sessions for our delegates and your participation.
As you browse through
the next few pages of this website, I hope you find
the information interesting and appealing. By registering
for the Education Forum and Tradeshow, each one of you
will take away with you something new, something fresh,
and continue to do what you do so well and that is…making
a difference everyday to older adult programs and services
in this province.
Sincerely,
Chris Zamin
OACAO 2010 Conference Chair
