  • The good, the bad and the potential

    When Chat GPT launched in November 2022, it gained 100 million users in just four weeks. That unleashed a flurry of excitement among some who could see the potential and imagined just how useful it could be.

  • You're never too old to play

    Not only can you teach an old dog new tricks, you can teach it to play blues guitar, says JW Jones.

  • Death: A fact of life

    The death of a spouse is monumental. Shock, harrowing sadness, sometimes a surge of positivity that seems to come from nowhere: the grieving process is deep and varied, in part universal, in part individual.

  • Do I have dementia?

    As the years pass, we can all expect to lose a step or two mentally — and, when it’s expected, we take it in stride as long as the decline feels mild and normal.

Past Issue

Winter
2024

The inaugural issue of Sage60 came together slowly and then quickly. The idea for this digital ’zine came a while back, but the Association’s 60th anniversary offered the perfect inspiration to finally produce our inaugural issue. Given that we celebrated 60 years of advocacy throughout 2023, honouring the achievements of Claude Edwards, fondly remembered as the founding father of the Association and an indefatigable negotiator, was a no-brainer. In addition to looking back on our early years, readers will also find an exploration of later-in-life spirituality, a frank investigation of intermittent fasting with Jason Fung, Canadian nephrologist and New York Times best-selling author of The Obesity Code, and a discussion about what steps parents of dependent adult children need to consider as they age.
