The Green Bench

Season 6 · Episode 2

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 • Duration 32:28

At 91, Doug Robinson still has a bucket list. At the top: make it to 100, and throw a party.

Donna Duncan sits down with Doug, a resident at the Village of Sandalwood Park in Brampton, Ontario, and his daughter, Elaine. Doug moved into long-term care the week before COVID. Since then, he has become known as the King of the Green Bench.

At Schlegel Villages, a green bench sits by the front door. It's an open invitation to sit beside an older adult and hear their story. That simple idea grew into #ElderWisdom, a movement to challenge ageism by listening to older adults. It even became a documentary, The Green Bench, which took Doug and Elaine back to where their family's story began.

Doug has a lot of stories. Some you won't quite believe. Elaine promises they're all true.

It's a reminder of why we make this show. Growing older doesn't make life smaller. Sometimes it's where the best stories are still being written.
