  • Men's Sheds Canada: Community Friendships and Connections

    Men's Sheds Canada: Community Friendships and Connections
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of Aging Vibrantly we learn about the Men's Sheds in Canada. Men's Sheds provide welcoming spaces where men - often older or retired - get together in their community to share experiences and skills, discover new interests, make new friends, support each other and contribute to their communities. For many men, aging and retirement can lead to loneliness and a loss of purpose, but Men's Sheds, a unique and growing movement, is addressing these issues among older men across Canada! As men age, maintaining relationships and community connections becomes increasingly critical in combating loneliness and isolation, which can have serious health consequences, including increased risk of mortality, heart disease, stroke, and dementia. In this episode, you will learn how Sheds are making significant impacts to strengthen both men's lives and their communities - and how these grassroots initiatives are playing a vital role in providing older men with a safe and supportive space in their local community to build friendships, share experiences and connect with their peers. Men find renewed purpose, engagement in their community that is reducing their risk of social isolation and its negative effects on their mental and physical health. By the end of the episode, we hope you will be inspired to start a Men's Shed in your community.

Dementia significantly impacts the lives of many Canadians, particularly for older adults and their caregivers. That's why this episode is so important. Canadians of all ages need to be knowledgeable about dementia, have access to information and support to lower their risk and acknowledge their role in combating the stigma surrounding dementia. We continue our conversation on the role of care partners and how we can empower, support and prepare individuals for their caregiver journey so they have access to education, resources, and skills to care for a person living with dementia. We then discuss the actions that individuals, communities and governments can take to not only delay or prevent dementia, but also improve the quality of life for those living with dementia.

  • Dementia in Canada: Awareness, Risks and Reality: Part 1

    Dementia in Canada: Awareness, Risks and Reality: Part 1
    Nov 5 2025
    Dementia significantly impacts the lives of many Canadians, particularly for older adults and their caregivers. Canadians of all ages need to be knowledgeable about dementia, have access to information and support to lower their risk and acknowledge their role in combating stigma surrounding dementia. In this episode we are joined with 3 esteemed guests; Dr. Samir Sinha, Dr. Jane Rylett and Claire Webster, share their wealth of knowledge in research, policy and practice to help us better understand Dementia in Canada. We had such a comprehensive and informative discussion with our guests that we've decided to release this podcast as a two-part episode. In part 1, you will learn some alarming facts about Dementia, including; approximately half a million older adults in Canada were living with a diagnosis of dementia in 2023/24, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Alzheimer Society of Canada estimates this number could approach 772,000 in 2025 and by 2050 could reach to possibly 1.7 million Canadians with nearly 1 million care partners needed to support them. But we can be proactive in changing these projections by becoming more knowledgeable of the modifiable risk factors that are associated with delaying or preventing dementia. All of us can play a role in challenging the associated stigma, stereotypes and discrimination associated with the disease that often inhibit people from seeking a diagnosis, medical care and support services. Be sure to listen to Episode 19 for PART 2 of our Dementia and Canada conversation.
