Whitby seniors now have a new way to connect with others from the comfort of their own home or care facility. The new ‘Seniors Without Walls’ Program, launched by the Town’s Age-Friendly Network in partnership with the Whitby Public Library, provides seniors the opportunity to participate in a rich and vibrant social community by phone.

Each week volunteers, along with Whitby Public Library staff, conduct an hour-long program over the phone that is full of engaging activities such as trivia, travel logs, music and storytelling.

Upcoming sessions include:

• Memoir Writing
• Winter Safety Tips
• Brain Health
• Biographies
• Podcasts for Seniors

Seniors who are interested in participating must register by calling 905.668.1424 or emailing seniors@whitby.ca

The program is generously funded through a grant from the provincial Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility.
