The Knowledge in Action Seminar Series is a six-event, province-wide series that brings research, community partners, and older adults together to share knowledge, build relationships, and identify future priorities across British Columbia.
Event 1 – March 31, 2026 | UBC Okanagan | Kelowna, BC
Bringing UBC-O’s Embrace Aging month to a close, this feature event brings together clinical and research experts to explore how older adults can maintain wellbeing, function, and quality of life throughout the cancer journey. The event will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Lauren Capozzi, followed by an expert panel with Dr. Flavia DeAngelis, Bonnie Leung, and Dr. Capozzi, facilitated by Dr. Kristen Haase. Together, they will discuss practical, evidence-based strategies to support resilience, recovery, and healthy aging before, during, and after cancer treatment.
What You’ll Learn:
• Strategies to support physical function, energy, and independence in later life with cancer
• How approaches like rehabilitation, supportive care, and lifestyle interventions can improve wellbeing
• Ways to strengthen resilience, recovery, and emotional health during and after treatment
• How care teams can better support older adults and their caregivers
