The next regular webinar for the Canadian Longitudinal Study will focus on congregate dining programs at seniors’ centres that can promote nutritional and social well-being.

Christine Sheppard, a doctoral student in the School of Public Health and Health Systems at the University of Waterloo, will describe a research project that involved a needs assessment at a new Toronto-based senior centre to gauge interest and demand for a congregate dining program, and propose recommendations for how such a program should be developed and implemented.

The webinar will be held on Feb. 11 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
