PACE banner for October 2025

The Northumberland PACE Speakers Series is kicking off the 2025-26 season with a virtual conversation, Independent Living as We Age on Thursday, October 23 at 5:30 PM featuring guest speaker, Micki McLean.

In addition to having 20 years of practical experience working in the retirement industry, McLean holds a Long-Term Care (LTC)/Retirement Facility Administrator Certification. During this session, she’ll share real-life stories and insights gained from working with LTC residents and their families. This talk is an opportunity for attendees to discover the challenges and realities of finding the right living arrangements, and to learn how to recognize when it’s the right time to make the transition.

As is standard within the PACE Talk format, questions from the audience are welcomed. For the October 2025 talk, these questions may be pre-submitted by emailing mbhargava@imcare.ca prior to October 23, 2025, or time permitting, posed live during the event itself.

Since 2018, the Northumberland PACE partners have been hosting free public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics and have consistently drawn large groups of community members with a variety of questions and perspectives.

Lasting an hour in length, each PACE talk consists of a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute question-and-answer period with the guest speaker(s) and a short moderator summary.

Bring your questions, your suggestions, and your experience and join what is expected to be another informative discussion.

Pre-registration is required, and space is limited to the first 300 registered attendees. This event is hosted through Zoom, and attendees are asked to login to the event 5 minutes prior to the start.
