About this organization
THIRD ACTion was started in 2017 by Mitzi Murray in response to a cultural shift around aging that was beginning to take place.
Because Canadians are living longer, there is a growing population in their 70s, 80s & 90s. By 2036, Statistics Canada projects that seniors will make up more than a quarter of Canadas overall population. This provides the motivation for envisioning what positive aging and a productive third act can be.
THIRD ACTion had its inaugural festival in June 2018 at the Glenbow Museum. The festival offered 9 screenings showing a total of 31 films along with an art show addressing seniors mental health. The festival was repeated in 2019 and has continued to grow; putting on talks and screenings outside of the festival dates by partnering with other organizations.
2020 saw the evolution of the festival to an online platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
