Senior Connection Program

The purpose of a senior drop-in program is to reduce the risk of the social isolation of immigrant seniors who have limited access to culturally sensitive activities.

 

Hosting a seniors program provides a platform where seniors can share their life skills, experience and interests amongst their peers in a socially supportive environment preventing loneliness and isolation.


This weekly drop-in program gives seniors an opportunity to come out, interact with one another, exchange ideas, network and make new friends, and plan and get involved in activities.  


Activities in the Senior Connection Program include; arts/crafts, poetry, field trips, discussions on topics of interest as well as and a little light exercise.  This social interaction empowers seniors by maintaining better mental and physical health and improving self-esteem.
