SUMMARY:Southwinds Café - Where Do You Go When You “Gotta Go”?
DESCRIPTION:Where Do You Go When You “Gotta Go”?\nThe Sorry State of Public Toilets in Ottawa \n  \nJoin us for a participatory session about access to public toilets in Ottawa. We all “gotta go” from time to time—whether we’re running errands\, using transit\, or walking in our neighbourhood. And yet\, where are the public toilets one would expect in a major city? \nHow does the absence of this basic facility affect older adults and their ability to participate in public life? How does it affect you? \nWe’ll briefly present the problem and our latest progress\, then open the floor for your stories and questions. With the upcoming municipal election in October\, this is a timely opportunity to bring greater public attention to the issue. \n  \nAbout Elizabeth (Bessa) Whitmore\nRetired Professor of Social Work at Carleton University\, Bessa Whitmore is now a community advocate for the environment\, peace\, public healthcare\, and public toilets. She was one of the original founders of GottaGo! in 2013. She also enjoys the outdoors\, cross-country skiing in the winter\, and swimming in the summer. \n  \nThe session will be approximately one hour\, with 20–30 minutes for the presentation followed by discussion and Q&A. It will take place online on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Café Vents du sud - Où aller quand on « a envie »?
DESCRIPTION:Où aller quand on « a envie »?\nL’état déplorable des toilettes publiques à Ottawa \n  \nParticipez à une séance interactive sur l’accès aux toilettes publiques à Ottawa. Nous avons tous besoin d’y aller de temps à autre\, que ce soit en faisant des courses\, en utilisant le transport en commun ou simplement en nous promenant dans notre quartier. Pourtant\, où sont les toilettes publiques auxquelles on devrait pouvoir s’attendre dans une grande ville? \nQuel est l’impact de l’absence de cette infrastructure essentielle sur les personnes aînées et leur capacité à participer pleinement à la vie publique? Et vous\, comment cette situation vous affecte-t-elle? \nNous présenterons brièvement le problème ainsi que les progrès réalisés récemment\, puis nous vous donnerons la parole pour partager vos expériences et poser vos questions. À l’approche des élections municipales d’octobre\, c’est un moment opportun pour sensibiliser le public à cet enjeu. \n  \nÀ propos de Meghan Ede\nMeghan Ede\, retraitée du secteur des hautes technologies\, est revenue au Canada au début de 2020 après avoir travaillé dans la Silicon Valley. À son retour\, elle a brièvement enseigné à l’Université d’Ottawa et a également offert du soutien technique aux membres du corps professoral pendant les confinements liés à la COVID-19. \nMembre de GottaGo! depuis 2022\, elle milite maintenant pour la santé publique\, la paix\, l’environnement et l’accès aux toilettes publiques. Elle aime également la lecture et fait partie du Silent Book Club. \n  \nLa session durera environ une heure\, avec 20 à 30 minutes pour la présentation suivie d’une discussion et de questions-réponses. Elle aura lieu en ligne sur Zoom.

SUMMARY:CarFit Clinic - Richmond
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Priority for residents of Ward 21 – Rideau-Jock \nCarFit is an educational program that provides a quick\, yet comprehensive review of how well you and your vehicle work together. The program also provides information and materials on community-specific resources that could enhance your driving safety and increase mobility. \nThe program was initially developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and brought to Canada by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy (CAOT). \n  \nRecognizing the Need\nOlder adults represent the fastest growing portion of the driving population\, with roughly 2.7 million drivers over the age of 65 on Canadians roads today. Driving today is more difficult than ever\, because of increased traffic congestion\, longer commute distances\, new technology and faster speeds. \nResearch suggests that older drivers are among the safest drivers\, because they are more likely to wear seat belts and less likely to speed or drink and drive. However\, as people age\, they’re more likely to suffer serious injuries or risk death in crashes\, due to greater fragility. \nCommunity mobility is critical for healthy aging\, but ill-fitting vehicles can make it uncomfortable and unsafe to drive. Today’s vehicles have many safety features that offer enhanced restraints and protection\, yet many drivers are unaware of those features or how to best use them. CarFit helps you better understand them and develop strategies to achieve the safest fit.
