The Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging is proud to partner with Providence Health Care to deliver the Dialogue on Aging Public Presentation Series. The series features distinguished speakers who present on broad topics in current aging research to share findings with the community. Our hope is that by sharing evidence and enabling dialogue we will help people live longer, happier lives. Every 3 to 4 months, we deliver a new series of free lectures to the public on a specific theme. Each theme has an in-person lecture at a local and accessible Vancouver venue, as well as 2 to 3 virtual presentations. Free refreshments are provided at every in-person event! Scroll through our events calendar to find upcoming public presentations.
