You can help reduce social isolation in the community by helping to maintain a calendar of activities for older adults. All you need is a phone, a computer with internet access and a little time. 

What you will be doing:

• Monitoring websites and social media accounts of community centres, senior centres and libraries for public activities appropriate for older adults. 
• Ocassionally calling organizations that offer social activities for older adults to get accurate information about their offerings.
• Entering these events on a Google calendar that is posted on our website for public viewing.
