Dementia in Canada: Awareness, Risks and Reality: Part 1
Season 2 · Episode 18
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 42:56
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.
Dementia Education for Care Partners Free online course that consists of ten self-guided modules. It includes expert advice, shared experiences from participants, and solutions to the challenges of being a care partner in the context of dementia. https://www.mcgill.ca/dementia/resources/dementia-education-care-partners

WISE: Age-Inclusive Workplaces
Season 2 · Episode 17
Thursday, October 9, 2025 • Duration 39:56
In this episode we talk with Carolynne Mahood, Founder of On Your Own Time about why age diversity and inclusion in the workplace matters.
Across Canada, many older adults who want or need to keep working are being overlooked, not because they lack ability but because of ageism. When older adults are excluded from meaningful work, it not only impacts their income and independence, it can also reinforce ageist stereotypes that contribute to social isolation, a known risk factor for abuse.
One approach to building age-inclusive, future-ready workplaces is to provide employers with tailored and inclusive hiring tools that make it easier to create environments where experience is valued as an asset, not a liability.
Our guest highlights an innovative program she Founded, W.I.S.E. (Wisdom. Inclusivity. Synergy. Equity), a national Certification program, that combats ageism in the workplace and recognizes workplaces that actively support and retain experienced workers through inclusive, flexible, and age-positive practices.
In this episode we learn about:
experiences older workers are having when trying to find work
why age inclusion and diversity in the workplace is beneficial
how employers can be champions of age inclusion by becoming WISE Certified.
To further bring awareness to ageism, this episode is also being launched on October 9th, Ageism Awareness Day in Canada. Led by the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism, this campaign amplifies efforts to raise awareness about ageism in all its forms and sectors—including workplaces. Our interview aligns with this year's theme: "Age is a Strength: Building Belonging, Challenging Ageism".

Les gens pensent souvent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'une procuration; ils estiment que cela ne concerne que les personnes âgées. Pourtant, tout le monde devrait envisager d'en avoir une, surtout lorsqu'on est encore capable d'exprimer ses souhaits.
Nous allons discuter de ce qu'est une procuration, de ce qu'il faut savoir pour en choisir une, des rôles, responsabilités et obligations, des protections que vous pouvez mettre en place pour vous protéger, ainsi que des options à envisager si l'agent désigné n'agit pas dans votre meilleur intérêt.
À noter, chaque province et territoire dispose de législations spécifiques en matière de procuration. Aujourd'hui nous allons nous focaliser sur l'Ontario mais nous vous encourageons à vous renseigner sur votre propre juridiction si vous résidez ailleurs.
