Jan 15, 2025

The Trent Centre for Aging & Society is hosting its first-ever gathering of Anishinaabe youth and elders to discuss aging through Anishinaabe knowledge and traditions.

The event, taking place tonight at the Peterborough Public Library, will bring together members from Curve Lake and Hiawatha First Nations to explore the cultural significance of aging intergenerationally.

The gathering will cover a range of topics, including the role of Anishinaabemowin (the Anishinaabe language) in aging, Indigenous approaches to well-being, and holistic practices that contribute to aging well. Julie Davis, vice president of External Relations and Development at Trent University, will also provide an update on the development of a Long-Term Care Home and Seniors Village at Trent.
