SUMMARY:BALL Lecture Series: Optimal aging
DESCRIPTION:You Don’t Have to Be a Musician: How Everyday Music-Making Supports Healthy Aging\nRecreational music participation offers an accessible and engaging pathway to healthy aging. Active involvement in music has been shown to enhance auditory processing\, strengthen attentional control\, and improve speech perception in noise—a persistent challenge for older adults\, especially those with age-related hearing loss. In this talk\, I will highlight findings from my lab and others demonstrating that group singing\, even among individuals with no prior musical training\, can lead to measurable benefits over relatively short periods of participation. Inclusive community singing programs—such as those developed in the SingWell initiative—show particular promise\, providing safe\, judgment-free spaces where older adults of all abilities can experience the health\, communication\, and social gains that come from singing together. Beyond auditory improvements\, group singing supports vocal strength\, respiratory coordination\, emotional well-being\, and social connectedness. Collectively\, this research positions recreational music-making as a scalable\, inclusive approach to enhancing communication and quality of life in older adulthood. \nLecturer –  Dr. Frank Russo\nFrank Russo is a Full Professor of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University\, where he directs the Science of Music Auditory Research and Technology (SMART) Lab. He is also the Scientific Director of SingWell\, an international consortium on singing\, communication\, and wellbeing. With 100+ publications and $10M+ in funding\, he is a leading researcher in auditory neuroscience\, with particular expertise in topics concerning music\, hearing\, and speech. \n\nhttps://www.torontomu.ca/psychology/about-us/our-people/faculty/frank-russo/

SUMMARY:MIFF: Meaford International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Meaford International Film Festival Announces Line-up for 20th Anniversary \nMEAFORD – July 7\, 2026 – Celebrating its 20th anniversary\, the Meaford International Film Festival (MIFF) returns to Meaford Hall this fall\, running from September 25-27. The festival\, which features international\, award-winning films and special guest interviews\, is a fundraiser for the Meaford Culture Foundation\, which supports arts and culture programs in the community. \nThis year’s festival will include two Oscar-winning documentaries. In No Other Land\, Palestinian activist Basel Adra films his community being destroyed by Israel’s occupation. During his efforts\, he builds an unlikely friendship with Yuval Abraham\, an Israeli journalist\, who joins his fight. The two men accepted the Best Documentary Feature Oscar in 2025.  \nMr. Nobody Against Putin\, the 2026 Oscar winner in the same category\, will also be shown. The film is made by Pavel Talankin\, a Russian teacher/videographer who is forced to document his school’s delivery of the new government-mandated propaganda curriculum about the Ukraine war. \nThe festival will close with the BAFTA winning film I Swear which tells the inspiring life story of John Davidson\, notable Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner.  \n“I’m thrilled to be involved with MIFF for this milestone edition and grateful to be bringing these important films to our audiences. It is truly inspiring what some filmmakers have to go through to tell their stories\,” said Anna den Hengst\, Artistic Director\, MIFF. “This year’s selection will make our audiences laugh and cry\, and most importantly\, think.” \nOther films in this year’s selection include The President’s Cake\, Iraq’s official 2026 Oscar entry\, and Canadian film Still Mine starring James Cromwell.  Each screening at MIFF will be accompanied by a short film by an emerging filmmaker from the Grey Bruce Youth Film Festival. \nPart of what makes MIFF a unique film festival are the special dinners hosted at Meaford Hall ahead of each evening screening. Brasserie Lovebird\, Station 87 and The Nomad Home Chef are the three restaurants hosting this year’s dinners. Each evening screening will also be followed by an after-party in the historic Meaford Hall galleries. \nMore information about this year’s MIFF\, including full film line-up\, restaurant details and tickets\, is available at www.meafordfilmfest.ca. \nPress Contact:\nAnna den Hengst\, Artistic Director\nTel: 705-351-3227

SUMMARY:BALL Lecture Series: Optimal Aging
DESCRIPTION:The Search for the Fountain of Youth\nWhat if I told you age-related decline wasn’t inevitable? \nThe search for the Fountain of Youth may be over. Science confirms that resistance training is the closest thing we have to a biological pause button against the ravages of time—the aches\, the loss of independence\, and the pervasive belief that you must give up things you love because you’re “too old.” Despite overwhelming research\, adoption remains low\, leading many adults to surrender strength every year. \nTogether\, we’ll dive into the compelling science proving how strength training can change your life. We’ll explore the benefits for both living long and living well\, covering chronic disease prevention\, maintaining mobility and independence\, boosting cognitive function\, and reducing pain. Finally\, you’ll receive practical\, actionable guidance on what resistance training should look and feel like\, how often you should do it\, and the mindset required for long-term adherence. Discover how choosing the road less travelled leads directly to the vibrant life you want. \nLecturer –     Clare Donaldson\nClare Donaldson is a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist\, Barbell Enthusiast\, clinic owner\, educator\, and unwavering believer in human potential. Clare has built her physiotherapy career and business around the belief that strength can be achieved at any age\, and she’s still looking for the person for whom that does not apply. \nClare co-owns CONNECT Rehabilitation in Owen Sound\, where her multidisciplinary team aims to create exceptional care outcomes for their clients that go beyond the traditional model of simply getting people out of pain. She regularly mentors physiotherapy students through Western University\, and is educating the next generation of Pelvic Health Physiotherapists through Pelvic Health Solutions. \nhttps://www.connectrehab.com/about

SUMMARY:Nordic Nations: From Vikings to Global Middle Powers
DESCRIPTION:The Viking Age\nThe Viking Age lasted from the attack on Lindisfarne Monastery in 793 until the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The Vikings had a profound influence on Scandinavia and the wider world\, travelling as far west as Newfoundland\, as far east as Russia and as far south as Constantinople and Baghdad. In the north\, they were raiders\, in the south\, they were traders and they shaped the course of history everywhere they travelled. We will discuss Viking culture in Scandinavia and the wider world including shipbuilding\, weaponry\, religious ritual\, and women’s roles in society.
