NEWS RELEASE
THIRD AGE LEARNING
***********************
On Tuesday evening, Third Age Learning launched a new chapter in Orillia at Lakehead University, and it seems that lifelong learning is a passion for many.
A sell-out crowd of 200 members of the senior community gathered at Lakehead Orillia to hear Dr. Beth Visser’s lecture, “Is Trump a Narcissistic Psychopath?”
The audience was given the clinical criteria to make their own armchair diagnosis and discuss their findings - both hilarious and horrific - over wine and cheese.
A partnership between the Third Age Network and Lakehead University Orillia, the goal of Third Age Learning at Lakehead (TAL) is to provide seniors with informed presentations from experts in their field along with an opportunity to socialize and discuss issues and ideas.
The Third Age Network exists all over the world, but is particularly active in Ontario. With its senior population on the rise, Orillia seemed like a natural place to establish a new member group.
This fall, TAL will host an inaugural lecture series titled, The 1960s: The decade that changed the world. The five-part series will focus on the impact the events of the 1960s have had on today’s culture: social justice through reconciliation, surveillance and security, music for the new social order, activism and social media, and who won the space race.
Each lecture will be held at St. Paul’s Centre, 62 Peter St. N. Orillia, at 9:30 a.m. Cost is $59 plus HST.
