Along with initiating the Toronto Seniors Strategy, I’ve enjoyed working closely with @UHNOpenLab on several age-friendly initiatives, including NORCs (Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities) so seniors can age in their own neighborhoods. So great to visit @NORCCentre today!

For sure. No time to talk anymore. Take a friend (if allowed) and ask them to make notes for later retrieval and translation. Still not ideal.
