ACTIVE AGING WEEK HIGHLIGHTS THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF AGING

By Todd Lewys When Active Aging Week unfolds in Manitoba from September 30 to October 6, it will showcase the abilities of older adults, how they still have much to contribute to society and highlight the positive aspects of aging. E ach year the International Council Active Aging suggests a theme for Active Aging week. In 2024 the theme is to demonstrate that individuals over 50 years still thrive in all aspects of life. Active Aging in Manitoba (AAIM) encourages communities or groups to plan activities during Active Aging Week and let them know what they’re planning.

“STRENGTH AND AGILITY GAINS CAN BE MADE AT ANY AGE, SO GETTING ACTIVE WILL ONLY HELP YOU AGE BETTER.” — LINDA BROWN, executive director of Active Aging in Manitoba

“We think it’s important to show that older adults are still very active and contributing, whether they’re retired, working or volunteering,” say Linda Brown, Active Aging in Manitoba’s executive director. “The other purpose of Active Aging Week is to emphasize the importance of being physically and mentally active.” She adds that there’s also a third component to the week-long celebration of older adults. “I think it’s important to combat ageism, so that’s another important reason why we celebrate Active Aging week. I don’t think people realize that ageism is quite prevalent in society. We feel there’s the need to do something about it. That’s why we want to show that older adults are still making contributions in so many areas of society.” Why are so many older adults still key contributors at work or as volunteers? Simply put, they’ve stayed engaged in virtually every area of life, says Brown. “There’s a misconception that you start to fall off when you pass 50, or when you retire. That only happens if you allow yourself to decline. If you don’t stay active and engaged, then the chances of physical and cognitive decline increase dramatically.” Suffice it to say the importance of staying active can’t be emphasized enough. “Take the event we put on, the Manitoba 55+ Games,” she says. “The amazing thing about them is the ages of the people that take

part. The Manitoba 55+ Games are a great example of active, healthy aging as we have participants from 55 to over 90 years of age.” Not only do the 55+ Games underscore the need to stay physically active to age well, but they also speak to the need to be socially engaged. “A lack of connection is a detriment to health and has been compared to smoking 15 cigarettes a day in terms of the physical toll it can take on individuals. While people come back to the 55+ Games every year to compete, they come just as much to connect with all the friends they’ve made over the years.” Likewise, older adults need to establish similar connections throughout the rest of the year by volunteering, going to weekly exercise classes or establishing groups that go for walks

also been shown that strength and agility gains can be made at any age, so getting active will only help you age better.” What are the keys to aging well? “Those who stay involved in life age the best,” says Brown. “So, make a point of staying active and socially engaged. If you do, you’ll be able to contribute to society into your seventies, eighties and beyond, and show that even though you’re getting older, you still have much to offer.”

several times a week. “It’s been shown that you make better gains in physical activity if you do it with others,” Brown says. “Activity is a habit, just like brushing your teeth. If you put it into your schedule, it will happen consistently and become part of your everyday lifestyle.” Once that lifestyle is established, the benefits become evident in short order. “People feel better physically and sleep better, which immediately improves the quality of their lives. It’s

MANITOBA 55+ GAMES HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

ove hitting a ball or showing your speed? Is playing Scrabble or cribbage more your pace? Or do you want to put your artistic skills on display? There’s something for everyone at the Manitoba 55+ Games – all you need to fit is the age requirement. Held this year in Brandon from June 18 to 20, the Games - which are hosted by Active Aging in Manitoba – will include more than 25 types of events that combine social activity, entertainment, and exercise. Anyone who’ll be 55 or better by the end of 2024 is eligible to participate in a range of activities, including some of the most popular sports: pickleball, golf, swimming, Slo-Pitch, and track. “It’s so important for older adults to be socially engaged. That could be through physical games, but it could also be through a card game,” says Linda Brown, Active Aging in Manitoba’s Executive Director. “Having all of these events is our way of being inclusive and showing that you don’t have to be a super athlete to participate.” Bowling, pool, horseshoes, and darts are some other options, as are “brain games” which include cribbage, bridge, whist, and scrabble. According to Brown, about 1,000 people participate in the Games each year. Events will have varying levels of competitiveness and will be held at a dozen venues across Brandon. The Games will kick off with a welcome breakfast and opening ceremonies, with an optional banquet on day two that features local entertainment. L By Sherry Kaniuga

Participants can also enter their arts & crafts works for judging and display in categories such as knitting, photography and woodworking, just to name a few. The schedule is set up to allow participants to join several events over the three days, and the $40 registration fee drops to $20 after your first event (or starts at a new, lower $20 fee for the brain games and arts & crafts categories). Participants can win medals, and even qualify for the biennial Canada 55+ Games in Quebec City this August. While the Manitoba 55+ Games are hosted by a different community in the province each year, the Brandon location is quite convenient for many participants. They can drive in for the day, stay in ample local accommodations, or camp nearby, says Brown, adding that once people join in the Games for the first time, they’re often hooked. “We have many participants who have been coming back for many years. They get to be active, see friends and meet new friends, and just enjoy the friendly competition and camaraderie. Everybody has a smile on

their face, and the whole atmosphere is really heart warming.” she says. The inclusivity of the Games extends to things like the “predicted time” track events – a one-kilometer Nordic pole walk and a three-kilometer walk/run – where participants are judged not by their speed, but by how close they finish to the time they predicted. “When the Games were in Selkirk two years ago, the gold medal was won by a woman who was 85 years old, and walked around the track with her walker,” says Brown. “It makes it open to anybody, and that’s really what it’s all about.” Want to join in the fun atmosphere without participating? Spectators of all ages are welcome at every event for free. Several hundred volunteers will also be needed. The Games also have a virtual option: all 55+ Manitobans are welcome to sign up, get active from June 24 to July 22, track their activity, then share it with Active Aging in Manitoba to win prizes. Registration for the Games in June is open until May 20, and volunteers are welcome to join any time.

PARTICIPANTS CAN WIN MEDALS, AND EVEN QUALIFY FOR THE BIENNIAL CANADA 55+ GAMES IN QUEBEC CITY THIS AUGUST.

“BRANDON PRIDES ITSELF ON OUR EVENT-HOSTING ABILITIES AND CAN’T WAIT TO SHOW

randon is ready to offer a warm Manitoba welcome to competitors, spectators and volunteers for the upcoming Manitoba 55+ Games. B By Jennifer McFee BRANDON GEARS UP TO HOST THE 2024 GAMES

OFF OUR HOSPITALITY TO THE PARTICIPANTS.” — JENNIFER WATSON, executive director of Brandon First

and can’t wait to see them in June,” she says. “Brandon prides itself on our event-hosting abilities and can’t wait to show off our hospitality to the participants.” As usual, Brandon will welcome Games participants with open arms. “We want everyone to feel welcomed and celebrated and to be able to participate in their chosen events with joy, sportsmanship, and excitement,”Watson says. “Our special events committee has been hard at work on the opening ceremonies and celebration banquet. Both will be components of the week you won’t want to miss.” In total, more than a dozen host committee members have been hard at work throughout the planning

stages. Watson says they’re still seeking a chair for the golf segment, as well as someone to serve as the volunteer coordinator. “The event itself will rely on close to 300 volunteers across the multiple venues and days, in areas from judging and officiating, scorekeeping and security to health and safety and registration check-in tables,” she says. “So, if folks are looking for a way to help out this summer, there’s something for everyone in this event.” She expects involvement in the Games will exceed previous years with more than 1,000 participants who will take part in more than 20 different events.

The 2024 event will take place from June 18 to 20 in multiple venues across the city. Jennifer Watson, executive director of Brandon First, is excited for the opportunity to host this year’s Games. “We’re thrilled to be hosting this event in Brandon again after such success hosting back in 2016. We look forward to welcoming all the participants to our city,

GOLF IS ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR EVENTS AT THE 55+ GAMES.

“This is a qualifying year for the Canadian Senior 55+ Games, so winners will be able to qualify to participate in the 55+ games in Quebec City this August,”Watson notes. “The event with the largest registration is undoubtedly pickleball, but other events like slo-pitch and golf should also see significant numbers of participants.” With plenty of excitement in store, she adds that Brandon has much to offer visitors. “The Riverbank Discovery Centre gives visitors a chance to experience the Assiniboine River Corridor through an expansive trail system, canoe and kayak rentals and launch, and the Brandon Tourism Visitor Centre. It’s an excellent place to spend some time getting in touch with nature.” There are other great attractions to experience, such as the newly re-opened Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum. “It’s dedicated to the plan for training air force personnel for the Commonwealth in the Second World War,” says Watson.

Brandon also offers hospitality and dining experiences with everything from locally sourced Manitoba fare to international flavours. As well, visitors will have the chance to discover Brandon through various event venues, including Ashley Neufeld Softball Complex, Healthy Living Centre at Brandon University, Sportsplex track and pool, Riverbank Discovery Centre’s walking trails, and the ANAF and legion facilities. Other venues include T-Birds Bowling, Seniors for Seniors, Riverview Curling Club, Wheat City Golf Course and Wheat City Lawn Bowling. The Dome Building will serve as the Games’ headquarters. Karen Kotak, host committee chair, says Brandon is an amazing place to hold events. “We have a venue for every event, which hasn’t been the case in some other Games years, so were fortunate to have that. We are planning a few extras that haven’t typically been done, such as a free pancake breakfast for the athletes and volunteers on the first morning, Tuesday from 7 to 9 a.m.”

Adding to the excitement, plans are in the works for a banquet on Wednesday evening followed by entertainment from a live band called Clubbing Fraggles. Tickets are limited and will be available for purchase during registration and at the Dome Building headquarters until they’re sold out. In addition, an online 50/50 is gaining momentum; it will continue until the last day of the Games. The link for the 50/50 is on the Active Aging in Manitoba’s website or on the Brandon 55+ Games Facebook page. Helping hands are always in demand for the Games, with ample opportunities to get involved. “We are still looking for volunteers and sponsorship,” Kotak added. “Without them, these events certainly would be impossible to do.”

xcitement is building for Manitoba’s largest multi- sport event for those aged 55-plus, and this year’s presenting sponsor is helping to make it all possible. For the sixteenth year running, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries is the Games’ presenting sponsor, with the sponsorship falling under the PlayNow banner. PlayNow is Manitoba’s own legal gambling website that launched in January 2013. It provides Manitobans with a safe and fully regulated gaming experience, setting it apart from unregulated gambling websites. In addition, profits from PlayNow stay in the province to support important government programs that benefit all Manitobans. Gerry Sul, president and CEO of Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, shares his excitement for the Crown corporation’s involvement in the upcoming Games. “It has been a privilege to continue our sponsorship of the Manitoba 55+ Games,” he says. “This event brings value to our communities, and we are honoured to play a role in its ongoing success.” For Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, it’s important to give back. “Liquor & Lotteries strives to make significant contributions to the economic and social well-being of our province,” Sul said. “Giving back in meaningful ways and inspiring community involvement aligns with our goals to enrich the lives of Manitobans.” PlayNow’s presenting sponsorship — along with the support of other organizations as well as the dedication of the host committee and volunteers — make it possible for Active Aging in Manitoba to put on this exciting annual event. At the same time, the sponsorship helps to provide the facilities and equipment to make the much-anticipated event a success year after year. Through its support for many charitable and non-profit organizations, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries remains committed to supporting the communities where they live and work — including the 2024 Manitoba 55+ Games in Brandon. “Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries chooses to sponsor events that promote quality of life in Manitoba through support of the arts, sport, culture, community, health, social causes, sustainability, diversity and inclusion,” Sul says. He adds that Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries also sponsors the event because it brings everyone together, from participants to spectators to business partners. “Not only is the Manitoba 55+ Games a fantastic event to attend, but it’s also one that attracts customers to our many business partners in the host community — which together will contribute to tourism, entertainment and hospitality in Brandon during the Games.” At the same time, he pointed out a few aspects that make the Games special. “What makes the Manitoba 55+ Games unique is how inclusive and diverse they are,” he says. “There are such a variety of activities offered and it provides a sense of belonging for all involved.” This year, the Manitoba 55+ Games run from June 18 to 20 in Brandon. The event draws participants, volunteers, and spectators from across the province to enjoy a jam-packed schedule of activity, entertainment, and exercise.

JACK & CAROL DUBNICOFF: ENJOYING FITNESS, FUN & FRIENDSHIP AT THE 55+ GAMES

M The one he chose has not only proven beneficial to his well-being, but it’s a path he heartily encourages others to follow. “After I quit smoking 42 years ago, I decided that I was either going to get fit or get fat,” he says. “I chose to get fit – and I’ve been doing something about that every day for the past 42 years.” Suffice it so say Dubnicoff and his wife Carol are enthusiastic believers in the value of active living as a major contributor to a happy, healthy life. Now 87, he works out at a gym three times a week and regards the effort as far more of a pleasure than a pain. “My wife and I are always active,” he says. “Every day, we go and do something. We go swimming, we play golf, we go lawn bowling or lift some weights. It has real benefits. If you don’t get active, you are missing out on a good life.” Jack’s fitness quest took another turn for the better when he saw a newspaper ad for the 2010 Manitoba 55+ Games in Killarney – an event that was new to him at the time, but piqued his interest. A runner in his youth and an eventual Manitoba Running Association Hall of Famer, Jack was intrigued by the running events, so he and Carol decided to attend.

ore than 40 years ago, Jack Dubnicoff made a key decision about his health that he figured would lead him down one of two paths.

The couple had such a great experience there that they have returned every year since, except for the year that a pulled muscle forced Jack to stay home. Since his initial participation, Jack has expanded his Games repertoire to include other activities such as swimming and golf. “Carol has always been active, but the first few years that we went to the Games, she didn’t participate in the events,” says Jack. “After a few years, I encouraged her to give it a try. We’ve both been participating every year and she comes home with a bunch of medals.” Both Dubnicoffs are quick to point out that the Manitoba 55+ Games are not all about sports and competition, but rather about participating and socializing. With events and activities for every skill level, and organized in age groupings, the event brings together participants from every region of the province. Jack says the opening ceremonies are just like the Olympics, with each region parading in as a group. A friendly, helpful volunteer contingent is always supportive, cheering on the competitors and typically serving up food and hospitality that he says is out of this world.

EVERY DAY, WE GO AND DO SOMETHING. WE GO SWIMMING, WE PLAY GOLF, WE GO LAWN BOWLING OR LIFT SOME WEIGHTS. — JACK DUBNICOFF

“Many returning participants comment about how great it is to develop friendships at the Games and how they enjoy seeing past participants each year,” says Linda Brown, executive director of Active Aging in Manitoba (AAIM). “We know that social connections greatly contribute to overall health, so the benefits of getting active with a group not only improves physical health but also improves mental well-being.” Carol says the couple looks forward each year to catching up with the friends they’ve made at the Games. “It’s nice to get together again and talk about what’s new and what’s been happening in each other’s lives over the past year,” she says. “That’s the part of the Games that I like the best.” For both Dubnicoffs, the annual

55+ Games will continue to be part of their shared commitment to active living, a lifestyle that’s undoubtedly enhancing their vitality and enjoyment of life.
