Peter Wierenga - Our utmost thanks to you , you will be dearly missed
Friends and members of Polio SA
It is with sadness we learn of the passing of Peter Wierenga -our group’s Treasurer, Board member and former Chairman.
Peter was also a Board member at Polio Australia.
Peter gave many years of service to Polio SA, and in a moment of upset at the passing of Brett Howard, took control of things and made sure our organization stayed firm.
Many of us privileged to know Peter , will remember his contribution to Polio SA - his wit, and humor, and his gentle Canadian accent. Peter cared for his fellow man and showed love and understanding of those around him.
Others can tell of Peter- the husband, father and educator.
We at Polio SA can vouch for the care and love he extended to all of us.

Invitation for workshop participants
About the workshop
The Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) is hosting a workshop on the experiences and needs of people ageing with Post Polio Syndrome (PPS). The workshop will be held on 22nd November 2022 from 9.30am-12.30pm, as part of the AAG 2022 conference in Adelaide, at the Adelaide Convention Centre
Presentations from experts will include Polio Survivors, Clinicians, Researchers and Aged Care Service
Providers. The workshop will ask:
• What are the unique experiences and needs of people ageing with PPS?
• What does it take to be an inclusive service or community for people living with PPS?
AAG workshops attract a multidisciplinary audience, and the AAG will develop a paper summarising the workshop, to raise awareness of the hidden experiences and needs of Polio Survivors. The workshop is being hosted by AAG in partnership with Post Polio Victoria and Celebrate Ageing Ltd.
We would encourage Polio survivors to attend these workshops and participate, ‘nothing about us without us’.
