Guest: Jenna Wickens – MatureMinds Coordinator, CFS Counselling + Wellbeing


More than 9,000 older adults in Simcoe County are living in poverty – with those living alone more vulnerable than those living with family. At 10%, the poverty rate here is nearly double the national rate. In this episode, we explore the complex factors contributing to senior poverty and discuss innovative supports for ageing with dignity. Right now, on Resilience Rising.
