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.
