Is Canada failing older women?
Guest: Moira Welsh, Toronto Star journalist leading The Third Act project
A growing number of older women are facing poverty in Canada. It is a situation that can be brutally isolating as well as physically and emotionally exhausting. According to government data, it is also an issue affecting more women in their senior years than men. Journalist Moira Welsh, author of “Happily Ever Older: Revolutionary Approaches to Long-Term Care,” joins the podcast to discuss her latest story. It is part “The Third Act,” a Toronto Star partnership with the National Institute On Ageing that pushes Canada to do better for its older adults.
