Stress & Chronic Inflammation
by Dr. David Wang, ND

Tuesday, September 22, 2015 - 6:30 - 8:00 pm

Complimentary.

Instructor: Dr. David Wang, ND

Chronic, low-level inflammation contributes to at least seven out of the ten leading causes of mortality in North America. These include heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and nephritis.

The danger of chronic inflammation is that it is silent, yet fiercely destructive. Stress-induced inflammation can persist undetected for decades, propagating cell death throughout the body. This silent state of chronic inflammation has been coined "inflammaging".

Chronic low-level inflammation may be threatening your health without you realizing it. In this presentation, you will learn about inflammatory state assessment methods to prevent or reverse chronic inflammation within your body.

Thursday Afternoon Movie
"Elsa & Fred (2014)"

Thursday, September 24, 2014 - 2:00 - 4:00 pm

A light-hearted film suitable for Older Adults. FREE. Registration NOT required.

Rated: PG-13 | 97 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance | 7 November 2014 (USA)

Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Plummer, Marcia Gay Harden

Plot Summary from IMDb. "'Elsa and Fred' is the story of two people who at the end of the road, discover that it's never too late to love and make dreams come true. Elsa has lived for the past 60 years dreaming of a moment that Fellini had already envisaged: the scene in 'La Dolce Vita' at the Fontana di Trevi. The same scene without Anita Ekberg in it, but with Elsa instead. Without Marcello Mastroianni but with that love that took so long to arrive. Fred has always been a good man who did everything he was supposed to do. After losing his wife, he feels disturbed and confused and his daughter decides that it would be best if he moves into a smaller apartment where he ends meeting Elsa. From that moment on, everything changes. Elsa bursts into his life like a whirlwind, determined to teach him that the time he has left to live - be it more or less - is precious and that he should enjoy it as he pleases. Fred surrenders to Elsa's frenzy, to her youth, to her boldness, to her beautiful madness. And this is how Fred learns how to live. When he learns about Elsa's terminal illness, he decides to make her dream come true and takes Elsa to Rome to reenact with her the famous scene at the Fontana di Trevi." ~ Written by Unknown.

Dogs & Underdogs: Finding Happiness
at Both Ends of the Leash
by Elizabeth Abbott

DogFest at Riverwood

Sunday, September 27, 2015 - 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Book signing 1:00 pm

"Elizabeth Abbott had always shared her life with dogs. But when worlds collided and her beloved dog Tommy was left behind in Haiti, she set out on a journey that took her from the soulless concrete corridors of an American prison to the halls of Mount Sinai Hospital and the ruins of post-war Serbia, and taught her essential truths about the power of hope and redemption among people changed forever by a wagging tail and a pair of soulful eyes - and dogs who found a new lease on life with devoted human companions."

With wit and passion, Abbott digs down into the deepest roots of the human-animal bond, showing us that together people and dogs can find hope and happiness.

Elizabeth will give a short presentation and sign copies of her book at 1:00 pm at Visual Arts Mississauga at Riverwood.

A portion of the proceeds from book sales will go to Mississauga Animal Services.

For more information about DogFest@Riverwood, see www.theriverwoodconservancy.org

Making Clay Leaves ArtReach for Older Adults Credit Valley Seniors October 6, 2015

Art Instructor Corina teaches a group of seniors how to make clay leaves.

About ArtReach for Older Adults:

Seniors are in the spotlight! Visual Arts Mississauga (VAM) at Riverwood is proud to launch its innovative ArtReach for Older Adults program today. VAM is pleased to share the magic of the arts with older adults across the City of Mississauga through its subsidized pilot program.

ArtReach for Older Adults offers exciting art workshops under the guidance of qualified instructors to the Region of Peel's Malton Village, Peel Senior Link and South Common Community Centre. Seniors at these locations will take a creative journey as they explore four months of subsidized art classes. It is estimated that hundreds of seniors will be impacted by the program which brings VAM's popular art experiences out into the community.

VAM is pleased to partner with the Mississauga Senior Council (MSC) to launch the program. Representing more than 50 senior groups across the City of Mississauga, the MSC has offered its guidance and support of the program which will inspire and build confidence in individuals that might not have regular access to VAM programs. Participants will explore a variety of creative practices including painting, drawing, sculpture and more!

ArtReach will encourage social participation and inclusion for older adults while promoting volunteerism. VAM has enlisted a team of senior volunteers to help deliver the workshops alongside VAM's professional teaching staff. These giving individuals have been through rigorous training to prepare for the delivery of the program.

Dedicated volunteer Gordon Salisbury explains, "When you're painting, it's impossible to think of anything else. It's very relaxing. Keeps me out of mischief and happy. Just what seniors need; chews up time (a major enemy of seniors). Older people need hobbies and interests to keep active, young in mind, and therefore happy ... We can pass on the pleasure we get from art to others, and at the same time be rewarded ourselves."

Check out ArtReach for Older Adults in the press! Click here to view our feature in Goodlife Magazine and on Rogers TV Peel.

Book an ArtReach Session Today! Groups or senior centres that are interested in booking an ArtReach workshop are asked to contact VAM at 905-277-4313 or email lisa@visualartsmississauga.com.

The ArtReach for Older Adults Pilot Project is made possible with generous funding provided through the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.

ABOUT VISUAL ARTS MISSISSAUGA AT RIVERWOOD: VAM was founded in 1978 and strives to enrich community life by fostering an appreciation of the arts through active involvement in a variety of creative experiences. VAM offers a variety of studio arts courses for adults, teens and children as well as summer camps, school programs, exhibitions, Artsy Parties and ArtReach for schools and corporate team-building.
