Small grants are available to support programming that celebrates older folk in the Albert-Eden Local Board area – through social connection, culture, knowledge and community.

Connection: older people have access to people, places and events that enrich their lives

Contribution: the skills and knowledge or older people are showcased, celebrated

Community: there is a place for older people in their communities, and the community is better for it

“The seniors have a lot of experience and wisdom to share. We must let them speak, share and appreciate their experience.”

“Too often people are siloed by their age or ability and we saw great value in mixing the groups to support each other and learn from each other.”
