The Speaker’s Series: The Astonishing Lives of Older Women

Join Ontario Speaker Donna Skelly and award-winning Toronto Star journalist Moira Welsh at Queen’s Park for the latest installment of The Speaker’s Series. This free, public event dives into the complex financial challenges facing older women, a topic central to Welsh’s new book, *The Astonishing Lives of Older Women*.

Why Attend? Beyond the book discussion, this series is a fantastic way to engage with Ontario’s history and the contemporary issues shaping our province. It’s a rare opportunity to visit the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and participate in a thoughtful, in-person conversation in a historic setting.

Practical Information - **When:** Monday, April 20, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. - **Where:** Legislative Assembly of Ontario, 111 Wellesley St W. - **Access:** This event is free, but registration via the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s website is required. - **Security:** Please note that all visitors aged 16 and older must present government-issued photo ID.
