Intergenerational programs have become more important than they have ever been in our 20-year history.
Linking Generations continues to be dedicated to maintaining intergenerational programming and connections wherever possible.
We know from experience that intergenerational programs build lasting friendships, keep youth and seniors connected, reduce isolation and depression, break down stereotypes, ageism, and racism, and help both youth and seniors to feel more optimistic about their futures.
This September, we are thrilled to expand program operations and kick off a new Share and Care program with seniors residing in Fort Saskatchewan Community Care Centre.
Elementary students from St. John XX11 Catholic School will visit bi-weekly with reading books, coloring, or simply playing a game of snakes and ladders with our seniors.
