Episode 84 - Susan Sader, Good Neighbours Active Living Centre

Welcome to BeCause & Effect, a podcast from the Winnipeg Foundation. Where we talk to people about the causes they care about and the effect that it has on their lives. My name is Nolan Bicknell.

Today’s guest is Susan Sader, Executive Director of Good Neighbours Active Living Centre. Good Neighbours has been supporting seniors with their physical, mental, and emotional well-being for decades, and is an incredible resource in our city. Susan has been with Good Neighbours for 20 years, and is an expert when it comes to meeting seniors where they’re at with activities, meals, hobbies, friendships, and more.

I sat down with Susan Sader, Executive Director of Good Neighbours Active Living Centre, to talk about seniors’ needs during COVID-19, the importance of dealing with social isolation, and all of the connections and lessons she’s acquired over her 20-years with Good Neighbours.
