Super Senior Sheila - Students of Aging Podcast

What does a lifetime of activism, advocacy, and community-building look like? In this episode of Students of Aging, Jeff Young speaks with Sheila Miller, a lifelong changemaker approaching her 94th birthday.

From founding Canada’s first toy lending library to shaping supportive housing initiatives like the Sheila Miller Building for women and children fleeing violence, Sheila has spent decades creating safer, more inclusive communities. Sharing stories from her politically engaged upbringing in Chicago, her involvement in the civil rights and anti-war movements, and her transition to Toronto, she reflects on a lifetime dedicated to social change and the programs she helped establish that continue to make a difference today.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with a true Super Senior who proves that aging isn’t about slowing down—it’s about continuing to shape the world for the better.

Students of Aging is funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.

Presented by WoodGreen Community Services' Seniors Advisory Council.
