The University of Manitoba has been appointed the North American regional lead for the Age-Friendly University Global Network. As the regional lead, UManitoba will guide strategy, outreach, and educational efforts across North America and work with the Global Network Secretariate on global initiatives. “For years, UM has provided a great range of opportunities for people of all ages through employment, research participation, lifelong learning, recreational and wellness programs, cultural or sporting events, and intergenerational engagement,” said UManitoba Director of the Centre on Aging and Professor Michelle Porter. “Our commitment to age-friendly principles is helping to break down barriers and welcome a growing community of older learners.”
