SUMMARY:Café Vents du sud - Les premières 48 heures
DESCRIPTION:Personne n’aime penser à la mort. Pourtant\, les familles qui ont traversé les premières 48 heures suivant le décès d’un proche sans avoir de plan en place vous diront souvent la même chose : elles auraient aimé que quelqu’un les prépare à ce qui les attendait. \nCar le deuil n’arrête pas le temps. \nDans les heures qui suivent un décès\, les proches doivent prendre une série de décisions auxquelles ils n’ont souvent jamais été confrontés : qui appeler\, quels documents signer\, comment informer les différents organismes gouvernementaux\, et bien plus encore. \nCe n’est pas parce que les gens sont mal préparés. C’est simplement un sujet dont on parle rarement… jusqu’à ce qu’il soit trop tard. \nJoignez-vous à Jason Swan\, directeur de funérailles\, pour une présentation claire et concrète sur ce qui se passe après un décès : les intervenants impliqués\, les décisions qui doivent être prises rapidement (et celles qui peuvent attendre)\, ainsi que les démarches que vous pouvez entreprendre dès aujourd’hui pour alléger le fardeau de vos proches. \n Au cours de sa carrière\, Jason a accompagné des centaines de familles durant ces premières 48 heures. Il a constaté de premier plan à quel point une préparation minimale peut faire toute la différence\, tant sur le plan émotionnel que financier. Lors de cette discussion franche et empreinte de compassion\, vous découvrirez : \n\nÀ quoi ressemblent réellement les premières 48 heures\, étape par étape;\nQui intervient dans le processus et quelles informations chacun doit recevoir;\nQuelles décisions sont urgentes et lesquelles peuvent être reportées;\nCe qui peut se produire lorsqu’aucune directive n’a été laissée;\nÀ quoi ressemble un plan simple et significatif\, et combien il est facile d’en préparer un.\n\nCette présentation ne vise pas à planifier la mort. Elle vise plutôt à protéger les personnes que vous aimez d’un stress et d’une souffrance inutiles au moment où elles en auront besoin. \nNous vous invitons à vous joindre à nous et à inviter une personne qui vous est chère.

SUMMARY:Perley Health Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care™ Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Register now for the Perley Health Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care™ September webinar\, presented by Kayne Park\, PhD \nTopic: The feasibility of a novel training tool to improve physical activity tendencies in older adults \nDate: Friday September 25\, 12:00-1:00 PM ET \nBiography: \n\nDr. Kayne Park is a postdoctoral researcher at uOttawa with a background in Electrical Engineering (BSc) and Neuroscience (PhD) both attained at Queen’s University. His current position at uOttawa is focused on studying the effects that age can have on our neurological function.

His research aims to highlight how novel approaches like robotic testing can improve our assessment of neurological function in ways that common clinical tests are unable to – potentially providing greater insight into the mechanisms of neurological (dys)function.\n\nPresentation Objectives: \nThe objective of this presentation is to showcase the feasibility and preliminary results of a recent robot-based training study to improve engagement in physical activity. Attendees will learn: \n\nThe purpose and design of feasibility studies\nAutomatic vs intentional behaviours\nThe design of training protocols\n\nRegister now using the following link: https://tinyurl.com/CoESeptember2026Webinar

SUMMARY:CarFit Clinic - Greely
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Priority for residents of Ward 20 – Osgoode \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. \n
