Blake lived in Hamilton for 8 years during and after grad school at McMaster. He is passionate about tiny living\, with experience in the design of tiny houses on wheels\, stealth camper vans\, and most recently an electric car camper.

SUMMARY:Housing Policy\, Health Policy and Aging Populations: Intersections and Imperatives
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, November 15\, 5:00pm – 6:00pm \n           ZOOM: Register for Zoom Link \n           Speaker: Jim Dunn\, PhD\nProfessor and Chair of the Department of Health\, Aging and Society\, McMaster University \n           Co-Sponsors: Cohousing Hamilton and Hamilton Aging in Community \n“There is a great deal of concern about the aging of the population and what it will mean for health services\, long-term care facility capacity\, etc. and at the same time frequent discussions about ‘aging-in-place’ and ‘age-friendly cities’\, etc. Relatively little in these discussions considers the importance of charting strategic future directions for housing\, transportation and home-based supports. In the Greater Golden Horseshoe\, the number of people over the age of 80 will grow by 700\,000 people by 2041\, so the need to better coordinate housing and institutional care is urgent. I will discuss some important ways to frame the issues and some future applied research directions.” \nJames R. Dunn\, Ph.D. (Jim) is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Health\, Aging and Society at McMaster University and a Scientist at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. He holds the Senator William McMaster Chair in Urban Health Equity at McMaster University and is the Director of the McMaster Institute for Health Equity. He has held numerous awards and appointments\, including the William Lyon Mackenzie King Visiting Chair in Canadian Studies at Harvard University in 2011-2012. In 2020\, he established the Canadian Housing Evidence Collaborative (CHEC)\, a knowledge mobilization and research capacity-building hub funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Trained in urban health geography and social epidemiology\, he has published widely in geography\, public health\, urban planning and epidemiology and has worked closely with governments at all levels to address issues related to the effects of income security\, housing\, urban development on health and healthy child development. His research program has a strong focus on ‘population health interventions’ and includes projects on the health\, social and child development impacts of public housing redevelopment in Toronto’s Regent Park\, the development of policy implementation tools for healthier urban form\, and the effects of subsidized housing on mental health and well-being. From 2017-2018\, he was co-Principal Investigator of the Ontario Basic Income Pilot\, a bold study of the effects of a guaranteed annual income on a variety of health\, work and social outcomes\, involving 6\,000 participants in 3 communities in Ontario. \nTo Register: send an email to Hamiltonagingcommunity@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Cohousing Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:COHOUSING HAMILTON\nFind out WHAT it is\, WHERE it will be\, WHY people will live there\, WHO will live there & WHEN it will be built.\n\nDATE: THURSDAY\, MARCH 12\, 2020 \nTIME: 2:00 to 3:30; 6:30 to 8:00pm \nLOCATION: GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH HALL \n1107 MAIN STREET WEST\, HAMILTON \n(Parking is off Cline Ave next to Grace Hall\, the building with double doors) \n\n\nCOHOUSING is a form of intentional community for older adults or intergenerational living where people decide to create a neighbourhood that combines the autonomy of privately owned individual dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living. Co-developed\, co-designed and managed by the residents\, a cohousing community typically consists of between 10 and 35 dwelling units\, plus common space. Such a community will suit those looking for alternative living arrangements that are innovative rather than conventional and provide an opportunity to actively create their own neighbourhood. \nWhat’s not to like? Along with a recently formed steering committee\, we’re pleased to have retained the services of Cohousing Options Canada to help us navigate the path to establishing the first Cohousing Community in Hamilton. The event will be held at two different times on the same day. \nThe presentation will include a half hour video by Charles Durrett\, the architect who brought cohousing to North America from Denmark in the 1980s. If you’re interested in reading up on Cohousing\, Charles Durrett wrote a book called The Senior Cohousing Handbook\, A Community Approach to Independent Living\, second edition. \n\n\nThere is no cost but I would ask that you RSVP so I have an idea of numbers. \nPlease share this information with anyone you think might be interested in learning about living in a cohousing community and its many advantages. And feel free to contact Judy Shepalo if you have any questions ahead of time. \nJudy | 905-517-6494 | jshepalo@gmail.com
