Website provides information on the research being conducted by the University of British Columbia School of Nursing, in collaboration with the city of Vancouver’s arts and health program, to document the health impacts of regular participation by older adults in skill-based arts activities. Good introduction to new research on positive aspects of cognitive development in later years.
