arts and culture, Znaimer has set his sights on the seniors’sector
and is now creating entertainment, information and inspiration for this
growing demographic.
Znaimer has forged a remarkable career that has spanned the globe, but

perspective on Then, Now, Next promises to be a fascinating look at
media, the role of the Zoomer and the expectations of this ever-evolving
generation.
MOSES ZNAIMER is one of the most colourfuland controversial characters
in Canadian television history. After an illustrious academic career, he
started at the CBC, co-creating Canada’s longest-running radio

Then, Now, Next: Potential Potholes and Pratfalls on the Road
to Tomorrow
Tuesday May 5, 2009 - 8:45 AM
–10:00 AM
The times they are a-changing. Aging babyboomers, increases in the cost
of care and the belief that social resources going to frail elders are
resources denied to children andother vulnerable populations will mean
changes in policy, but what is unclear is the direction of those
changes.
Dr. Charles D Phillips will discuss what thefuture might look like for
the seniors’ care and services sectors, including the implications
for the not-for-profit sector. With a special emphasis on the specific
dynamics at work in Canadian long term care policy, he promises to offer
some thought-provoking ideas.
Dr. Charles Phillips, Ph.D., M.P.H. is a gerontologist and public health
professionals pecializing in long term care policy and health services
research. He is currently a professor in the Department of Health
Policyand Management in the School of Rural Public Health at the Texas
A&M Health Science Center.

Seven
Humour Habits for Workplace Wellness
Wednesday May 6, 2009 - 9:15 AM –10:30
AM
There’s perhaps
no better release for hard-working professionals than a good
old-fashioned belly laugh. Under the guise of a‘low-budget
spa,’ master storyteller Paul Huschilt’s hilarious
presentation reverses the negative effects of stress by teaching proven
interventions for wellness. You’ll hear about carefully
researched, yet easy-to-digest,concepts that can improve your
day-to-day, in and out of the office. This seminar requires that you
have prior knowledge in making mistakes, taking life too seriously or
lapsing occasionally in your ability to cope.
PAUL HUSCHILT is an award-winning speaker and storyteller with a Master
of Arts Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of
Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Windsor.
