Paul shares his journey from engineering and corporate leadershi p to public service and eldercare innovation after his mother's experience with dementia reshaped his perspective. Inspired by a visit to a Detroit PACE site , Paul launched PACE Canada in Ontario to bring collaborative, relationship-based care to older adults living in community housing. In addition to discussing the challenges of adapting the model to Canada, he examines the importance of trust and cross-sector collaboration. Paul also shares his bold vision for the future: connecting up to one million Canadians to integrated care systems powered by technology, predictive analytics, and community partnerships—all designed to help older adults age with dignity, connection, and support.
