Ageism, the Baby Boomers, and Elderhood

Submitted by dfoolen on December 10th, 2024 11:31 AM

Professor Emeritus Al Lauzon recently published 'Ageism, the Baby Boomers, and Elderhood' in the Huron-Perth Boomers magazine. The article examines the roles, opportunities, and challenges faced by baby boomers in contributing to their communities. Take a read of Dr. Lauzon's recent publication online [1]. 

This publication emerged as part of a lecture series facilitated by the Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health [2]. Gateway conducts impactful research, develops educational resources, and engages  rural communities to ensure continuous improvement in rural health and well-being. The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development has been active partners with Gateway, recently re-signing a new five year Memorandum of Understanding [3].
