[Recording] Aging Playfully webinar

This webinar was hosted on March 23rd, 2026 by the Ontario Age-Friendly Communities Outreach Program.

In this event Dr. Maxwell Hartt focused on joy, creativity, and play.

Drawing on insights from his latest book, Aging Playfully: Reimagining the Possibilities of Age-Friendly Community Design, Dr. Hartt challenged conventional assumptions about later life and the built environment. While age-friendly initiatives have made important strides in promoting inclusion and accessibility, his work invites us to go further—arguing that play is not frivolous, but foundational to health, wellbeing, and social connection across the lifespan.
