“The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders.”
~Ron Schlegel
The Right Honourable David Johnston, former Governor General of Canada, and Ron Schlegel have been close for many years. They share stories and laughter upon the #ElderWisdom bench on a late spring afternoon.
The #ElderWisdom campaign, running through the month of June to coincide with Seniors’ Month in Ontario, invites people in all cities where Schlegel Villages is home to community elders to sit for a moment upon a green bench to chat, share and learn.
