@Real_EstateInfo Hilarious, but so very wise!
Tempo Toronto launches at Verity club
Tempo Toronto launched on 12 November, with a bang
It was a party. Pure and simple. And what fun we had. The important part was bringing all that positive energy together in a packed Library at the fabulous downtown Toronto club for women, Verity.
You only get one chance to launch, so you may as well do it properly. Tempo Toronto is off and running with the support of friends, family, media people and Toronto businesses who showed up in force to wish us well.
Guests were eager to register into the Tempo Toronto community, and some of the business owners were keen to find out more about our display advertising. We’re making special introductory offers for advertisers.
Watch out here for video of the event. We’re just cutting and editing and will post it soon. In the meantime, please register with us if you haven’t done so already, and we can keep you updated with new content and upcoming contests and special offers.
We had a lot of discussion about the term “Third Age” and decided that, although it’s a bit strange to us in Toronto, it’s a great description. Baby boomers, seniors, middle-aged, mature, over-fifty , ageing … all have strange connotations, and none of us wanted to be associated with that. So THIRD AGE is in use in the UK and in a lot of spanish speaking countries (tercer edad, or something similar, excusing our spanish), and we’d like to promote its use here.
Third age usually refers to 45-75, and if you think about it is really rather descriptive. So, now you understand why we have a “Third Age” section in Tempo Toronto. It’s our catch-all for all issues, ideas and innovations that are a propos for us in that third stage of our lives.
Let us know what you think.
Official launch of Tempo Toronto, and why
Tempo Toronto is the creation of Tina Rogers, former executive, journalist, photographer and consultant in business communications with an MBA and Masters in Management. When she retired from her role as senior executive in a Canadian software company, she gained peace, contentment and the opportunity to try new things in her life.
In the spirit of sharing, she had the vision to create a magazine that would inspire fellow third-agers living in and around Toronto to sometimes escape from their roles as parents, grandparents, employees, housekeepers, caregivers and adult children and try something different just for themselves. Tina’s third-age achievements include learning to ride and winning first prize in a novice dressage competition, getting a pilot’s license, piloting a helicopter, qualified in sailing, rescue SCUBA diver, cross-country and downhill skiing, canoeing and camping in Algonquin’s back-country, winter camping in a self-built quinzy, dragon boat racing for charity, tried on-line dating and met her dearly beloved of 7 years, discovered a talent for watercolour painting, became board member with several charity and not-for-profit organizations, graduated with an MBA and Masters in Management, and bought a Vespa. Now 56, she’s not even close to stopping!
“I come from a simple background. If I can push the envelope during my third age, then anyone can. I am motivated to explore all that life has to offer, and continue to embrace new opportunities.”
Tempo Toronto is only about encouragement and inspiration. It’s all positive. We want to open doors to persuade you to try something new, something that perhaps wasn’t even on your radar. And, most of all, Tempo Toronto is all about being positive and staying active in mind, body and spirit. We ask you to join our community by registering, and get connected to other inspirational people.
We ask you to comment on articles, and provide content to help us build the online community that works for you.
