SUMMARY:Putting the Community in Tiny House Living
DESCRIPTION:Cohousing Hamilton Presents: Putting the Community in Tiny House Living\nSpeakers: Blake Poland & Dekyi-Lee Oldershaw\nDate: Monday\, March 20\, 5:00pm – 6:00pm \nBlake and Dekyi-Lee will briefly share their own tiny home experiences. Blake will unpack the Tiny House movement through its history and evolution\, trends\, tensions and view ahead. We can explore what Co-Housing with Tiny Houses might look like as well what community our individual and collective needs might suggest. \nBlake Poland is a professor in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto\, where he is the Director of the Collaborative Graduate Specialization in Community Development. 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. His research on community resilience features an emphasis on citizen-led and social movement iniatiatives\, and the relational social fabric of communities.  \nDekyi-Lee has lived for 14 years in intentional tiny home communities: Findhorn Foundation in Northern Scotland then in Queensland\, Australia. Her happiest years have been living a simple life. \nZoom Link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/5642529779   \nPasscode: 889892  (Passcode is required) \nID 5642529779 \n

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 Online Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of January 2020\, Cohousing Hamilton has continued to build a foundation and is currently looking for others to join and be part of the design and development process. With the roadmap outlined with our consultants\, Cohousing Options Canada\, along with the dedication and enthusiasm of our group\, we truly are on the path to creating the first cohousing community in Hamilton. \nEach of our members plays a role and will continue to be part of this dynamic process\, ensuring the final product is a place we will all be happy to call home. Somewhere we can age in place with resilience\, joy\, anticipation and humour\, benefitting from a rich built-in social network and mutual support system. \nWe’ll be hosting an Online Coffee and Conversation gathering on Saturday\, April 25 at 11:00 a.m via Zoom for anyone who would like to find out more about Cohousing in Hamilton or has questions about cohousing in general. \nFor more information\, or if you’d like to be part of the Online Coffee and Conversation on April 25\, please contact Judy Shepalo at cohousinghamilton@gmail.com or call 905-517-6494.

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

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 8:00 \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
