How do you want to spend the final years of your life? This is the focus of The
Third Act, an ongoing series the Star is producing in collaboration with Toronto
Metropolitan University and the National Institute on Ageing. It will challenge
governments, institutions and individuals to reframe our later years as a time
when older adults can flourish and contribute, instead of being left to face
decline and dependency.

In the photograph, Kathy Pettit’s grandfather is reading in bed.
