Innovation Meets Tradition
Intergenerational Connection
AGELESS. Real Talk. Real Change. To End Ageism.
Launched in September 2025, AGELESS is a new documentary that shines a light on ageism and intergenerational connection. The Cummings Centre partnered with award-winning Montreal filmmaker Joshua Dorsey to create this film, designed to confront ageism and spark meaningful conversations. The team working alongside Joshua included Lawee (Coordinator of Social Action), Carrie Mazoff (Project Manager), and numerous dedicated volunteers.
The film AGELESS: Real Talk. Real Change. To End Ageism is now available for screenings and workshops!
Produced by the Cummings Centre’s Social Action initiative, to inspire meaningful change.
Ageism is the bias no one calls out, the stereotype people still accept. It affects everyone: the 24-year-old dismissed as “too young,” the 87-year-old told they’re “too old.” This 40-minute documentary shatters the silence. Through compelling stories from Quebec’s Anglophone communities, AGELESS makes one thing clear: this isn’t a seniors’ issue. It’s an everybody problem. Through intergenerational connection and real stories of change, AGELESS invites audiences to reimagine what’s possible — for all of us.
This film was made possible by the participation of dedicated volunteers who gave their time at every stage. Their involvement reflects the very same values that the film explores.

Crafting Legacies
Crafting Legacies – Building Bridges through Woodworking
Intergenerational projects play a vital role in fostering connections across age groups, addressing social challenges, and enriching community life. The Cummings Centre continues to bring together younger and older generations through shared activities, creating opportunities for mutual learning, understanding, and collaboration.
In March 2025, in partnership with the Cummings Centre, Herzliah students proudly wrapped up their journey in the “Crafting Legacies – Bridging Generations through the Art of Woodworking” project. This unique intergenerational experience brought them together with senior volunteers to share skills, stories, and laughter – but most of all, they built unforgettable memories. A heartfelt thank you to Herzliah, the first student cohort, our funders — the Jewish Community Foundation (supporting the Nova Grant) and the Canadian Heritage Community Cultural Action Fund — as well as all the dedicated mentors and organizers who made this meaningful experience possible.
