Physically or virtually, the bench invites us all to sit alongside a senior, share a conversation, or give and offer advice.\n\nIt challenges the stigma seniors face; the ageism still so prevalent in society. It reminds us of the wealth of wisdom our elders offer and in doing so, helps restore them to a place of reverence.\n\n\u201dThe greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders.\u201d -Ron Schlegel\n\nThis podcast is brought to you by Schlegel Villages Retirement & Long-term Care homes in Ontario, Canada.\n#ElderWisdom | Stories from the Green Bench\xa0is produced by\xa0Memory Tree Productions\n\nLearn more about our host, Kathy Buckworth, at kathybuckworth.com\nLearn more about #ElderWisdom at\xa0elderwisdom.ca\nLearn more about Schlegel Villages at schlegelvillages.com
