During Fining Home seniors’ dialogues at John Braithwaite community centre and the North Shore Neighbourhood House today, seniors shared experiences of moving into a smaller place. One dialogue participant shared his story of having to move from a house to one bedroom after a recent health and financial crisis. He had no time to adjust to the change or decide what to keep and what to let go of. For him, it was a traumatic experience to discover his most cherished momentos had been given or thrown away. Together the group brainstormed how to find a sense of home in a smaller place. Drawing on past experiences as a student, living on a boat or as a traveler they generated new solutions for this present day challenge.
