How can we re-think how we build seniors’ communities?

In Canada, innovative partnerships are leading the way in transforming how we think about aging and care. One such groundbreaking initiative is unfolding in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada where Trent University is building a seniors’ village on the university campus, and they are partnering with peopleCare Communities to build and operate a long-term care home. This visionary project brings students and seniors together in a shared space where learning, living, and care are interconnected.

In this episode, Donna Duncan is joined by two visionary leaders who are at the helm of this transformative project:

• Dr. Cathy Bruce, President and Vice-Chancellor, Trent University
• Megan Allen-Lamb, President, peopleCare Communities

Listen as they discuss how this collaboration is not just about providing care; it's about creating a space where students and seniors live, learn, and grow together.
