Scams targeting seniors are on the rise. In 2024, older adults in Canada lost 178 million dollars to financial scams, a 300 percent increase from 2020, according to a House of Commons committee report. This is also an underrepresentation, since many people do not report when they’ve been scammed, out of embarrassment.
Radio Waterloo interviewed Cosmin Munteanu, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, and the Schlegel Research Chair in Technology for Healthy Aging at the Research Institute for Aging, as well as David Parkinson, founder of the John Parkinson Family Foundation to understand why senior-targeted scams on are the rise, the signs of senior financial abuse, the most common types of scams, and how to take proactive action.

Easing us into the spooky season this week with some music that’s nocturnal, though not all spooky. Polyphonic vocals, jazzy spirituals, desert blues, and a bit of sunny Motown to break it up… all with chatter from yours truly.
Featured image is of the video game The World Ends with You, which one track played borrows a title from.

As the municipal election heats up, a coalition of neighbourhood associations have teamed up to host two all candidate meetings for their electoral wards. According to a press release from the group, a goal of the events is to engage neighbours because “the people elected to local and regional office make decisions that directly affect our daily lives”
In a press release, Ann Liebau of the Uptown West Neighbourhood Association said “You don’t have to be a political junkie to care about your neighbourhood. If you care about your street, your park, your library, your water, you have a stake in this election. Rather than complaining about City Hall later, it’s far more productive to show up now and ask the candidates what they’re going to do.”
The first meeting, on Sunday October 4 from 6-8 pm, will focus on the five candidates seeking to become Mayor of Waterloo. The second meeting, on Wednesday October 7 from 7-9 pm, has two parts: first the seven candidates vying for Waterloo’s two seats on Regional Council, then the two people who want to represent Uptown Ward 7 on Waterloo City Council. Both events are happening in the Community Pavilion at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex.
This show features an interview with Daisy Arseneault , the chair of the Uptown North neighbourhood Association.
