This one is a little hot off the presses as I just caught the public premiere at #TIFF23, but can't help but promote another possible future @GeriInterestGp @NGIG1415 movie night option from Japanese filmmaker Kei Chika-Ura. Anyone interested in starting a Geri Film Club?

[Year In Cinema @yearincinema]

#TIFF23 Preview. Kei Chika-Ura's #GreatAbsence is an insightful & intimate look on complex family dynamics & dementia that, like the disease, has moments of real beauty and tragedy. Stunning visuals. The 35 mm adds to that more intimate aesthetic. An incredible second feature!

[Evan Chong @evanchong]

If anyone in the @GeriInterestGp @NGIG1415 world is looking for a movie rec might I suggest Sundance winner #TheEternalMemory? Such a beautiful doc that follows the journey of Chilean journalist Augusto Góngora and his wife Pauli Urrutia. Would make for a great movie night event!

[Year In Cinema @yearincinema]

A truly beautiful and moving doc. #TheEternalMemory is a heartbreakingly authentic depiction of Alzheimer's, handled with the utmost of compassion & grace. Showcasing both the grief & joy of reminiscing what was, and the perseverance of love in spite of it all. A must watch!

[Evan Chong @evanchong]

Worlds collide! Demonstrating how great film can be used to make conversations on how we care for our older adults more mainstream, great to see @DrSamirSinha at the @PLAN75movie screening at #TJFF! Thank you to @AgelessFilmFest & @JCCC_Toronto for such a thought provoking night.

[Year In Cinema @yearincinema]

A wonderful night at #TJFF with @PLAN75movie. A provocative conversation starter on how we look after our older adults through financial insecurity & social isolation. Beautiful moments of human connection interlaced with haunting visuals. Thanks @JCCC_Toronto @AgelessFilmFest!

[Christina Reppas-Rindlisbacher @ChristinaReppas]

Thank you @RogerWong10 for highlighting culturally sensitive care in your inspiring plenary talk #cgs2023 about opportunities to advance the health of older adults!

We need disaggregated data to uncover inequities when studying health outcomes!

[Evan Chong @evanchong]

Learning from @VivianEwa01 at @CanGeriSoc about Designated Supportive Living Level 4 as a publicly funded option for seniors requiring assistance but not quite requiring LTC. A smart and (unfortunately) novel idea. Would love to have this in Ontario! https://t.co/G6GptC041u

[Evan Chong @evanchong]

Learning about the fascinating difference in long-term care across the country at @CanGeriSoc #CGS2023 with @CSLTCM. Baffling to see how physician and patient experiences differ, and makes you wonder, can we ever apply best practices uniformly and consistently country wide?

[CityNews Toronto @CityNewsTO]

NEW: The Ford government is buying two million additional cloth masks for schools, a move criticized by Ontario doctors, who say the level of protection is far too low against COVID-19. #onpoli.

This afternoon we vaccinated our 50000th Individual at @soccercityvax What a massive accomplishment for our @townofws Proud doesn’t even come close to how I’m feeling. What a team effort. Congratulations @SMCdrPearl and team #onestepcloser #forstouffville

“You can line up and be through to the rest and recovery area in under 8 min..”

TN on @globalnewsto how a group of family physicians in Stouffville used lessons learned from drive thru flu clinics & adapted them for #COVID19 vaccines by partnering with the town and public health

Illness and aging begin in the community - investment and empowerment of community actors is definition preventative care.

[UofT Family Medicine @UofTFamilyMed]

The care of the elderly in Canada has not failed this year because there is no solution. Excellent home-based care is a ready answer to our elder-care crisis, writes faculty @ENiedra in an op-ed in @CBCNews: https://t.co/Shfhlh2IZz

digital professionalism and advocacy @HeatherMacNeil2 @kat_nemethy @Tamarajo1 #EdTechHPE21

[National Institute on Ageing 🇨🇦 @NIAgeing]

Recently some high profile doctors say they've been targeted for criticizing the Ontario government's pandemic response. @RyersonNIA Associate Fellow @NathanStall joined @cbcwhitecoat to discuss his advocacy and why he's committed to speaking out.
