The doctor will speak about the unprecedented global demographic shift that has resulted from increased life expectancy and the forecasted doubling -- over the next four years -- of the proportion of older people in society. His lecture will discuss how different sectors are responding to this and will suggest policies that need to be put in place to ensure that population aging becomes a force for positive change on a global scale. The event will also include interactive exhibits, featuring some of the applied research SERC has conducted over the last 10 years. Some research projects have involved the use of smells to interact with memories, using dance as a health promotion strategy, and the creation of mobile apps and digital `brain gyms', which will also be on display. Admission is free, but donations to SERC's ongoing educational outreach activities will be accepted. The interactive displays will be in the Sheldon Levy Centre (J wing) and SERC (K wing) at 6 p.m. The lecture will be at the Macdonald Heaslip Hall (B wing) at 7 p.m. To RSVP , contact Paulina Camino, SERC project coordinator, at 905-845-9430, ext. 8617 or paulina. camino@sheridancollege.ca.
