PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S GREETING
Come in from the cold to the Cummings Centre!
The shorter days and long nights of the winter season are upon us, but that’s
no excuse to hibernate!
Our Staff and Volunteers have come up with many new and exciting
programs and, of course, some of your old favourites to make it easier to get
you out of the house and into the welcoming atmosphere of the Cummings
Centre—both the main and off-site locations. “It’s really about getting out
and interacting with others,” says Roz Wiener, Cummings Centre President.
“Our winter programming is specifically designed to keep you both
physically and mentally engaged.”
Moving, learning and socializing with others is guaranteed to lift your
spirits, “The winter can be a lonely and isolating time of year, “says Pauline
Grunberg, Executive Director. “We need to make that extra effort to push
ourselves, get involved and try something new.” So now’s the time to sing,
act, sculpt, learn mah jongg or make your point in a political debate—there
is truly something for everyone at the Cummings Centre!
Need a little help getting to and from the Centre? Our transportation service
provides door–to-door service to Cummings. Prefer to stay close to home?
Many programs are available right in your neighbourhood, or in the comfort
of your home such as our Online Learning Program available for all our
members. Be sure to browse our off-site insert in the middle of the Guide for
a complete listing of programs in your neighbourhood.
Wishing you a fulfilling winter season!

IN CONVERSATION WITH
RUTH BADER GINSBURG
LIVESTREAMED FROM THE 92ND STREET Y IN NEW YORK
As the Supreme Court welcomes Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to its
ranks, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a 25-year veteran
of the court, sits down for a wide-ranging discussion with David
Rubenstein on her career and the state of the nation.
How does Justice Ginsburg, a lifelong trailblazer for gender equality,
view the #MeToo movement? And what is the crucial role of the
Supreme Court—and the rule of law—at a moment of huge political
tumult for the US? Don’t miss an opportunity to experience the wit,
