BIG News & Announcements
Founded by Nancy Angus in 2019, Age BIG empowers people to embrace aging. Nancy and our team offer programs focusing on brain, body and social fitness all geared to connecting people 60+ in-person and online.
We assist individuals, families and communities to age confidently and realistically. We can help neighbours or community groups creatively connect through recreation, story sharing or aging in place strategies and programs.
They connect us, remind us of who we are, and bring us closer to each other and our communities. By helping seniors share their stories, we capture the voices, histories, and experiences that make each individual unique.
We're BIG on Stories!
WHAT WE DO

Thunder Bay GIANTs
In partnership with Age Friendly Thunder Bay, we created the Thunder Bay GIANTs (Grand Individuals Aging with Neighbours in Thunder Bay). The digital stories centered around a group of older adults and their experience aging at home in Thunder Bay.
