“The world has changed in the last 90 years—and I’ve watched it change.”
From St. John’s to Elmira to Brighton, these journeys remind us why elders’ stories matter.

How many steps do you really need? Does speed matter? What about Nordic walking or seasonal challenges?

Ten years of insight. One clear direction forward.
A special screening of The Green Bench created a special moment for us to reflect on the wisdom we have to learn from seniors.

Listening changes everything.
Thank you to Elderado for highlighting The Green Bench documentary and the #ElderWisdom movement that began with a simple idea: sit down, listen, and learn from older adults.

Thank you to @schelegelvillages for inviting me to the premiere of The Green Bench documentary. It was truly a pleasure to watch Doug Robinson, Joan Demetriadis, Tom Farr, and Jan & Doug Nash revisit the places and moments that shaped their lives.
The film is a powerful reminder of how important it is to pause, listen, and appreciate the wisdom of our elders. Taking time to reflect on #ElderWisdom enriches us all.
I encourage everyone to catch one of the upcoming screenings across the province—you won’t want to miss it!

Grateful to share this moment with Ron Schlegel at the premiere of #TheGreenBench
His belief that “the greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders” continues to inspire the #ElderWisdom movement.
@GreenBenchStory
Stories have the power to change how we see aging.
At the premiere of The Green Bench, we were reminded that every older adult carries a lifetime of wisdom, memories and experiences that continue to shape our communities.
This heartfelt film follows residents from @SchlegelVillage as they return to places that shaped their lives. From St. John’s to England, Elmira to Ottawa, each journey reminds us that aging is not about looking back. It is about honouring a life still rich with meaning, relationships and possibility.
For ten years, the @GreenBenchStory movement has invited people to slow down, sit together and listen. These conversations bridge generations and challenge misconceptions about aging.
