A message from Debbie, Seniors’ Connections Coordinator (Monday Connections):
“I will send the link out to the seniors in our community for whom I have an email address so that you have a connection if needed already in your email.
If you would like to volunteer with seniors, are looking for information, have questions or would like to explore more about how we can have a positive connection and/or impact on seniors in our community, you can also connect with me on Mondays using the same link.”
Caregiver Connections

Our Caregiver Connections group returns online from 7:00 to 9:00 pm on the third Thursday of the month from September 21, 2023, until June 20, 2024, but please connect with Debbie at any time.
Connecting with someone outside of family and friends can help when we are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to. Just send Debbie an email or call and she will be more than happy to set up a different time to connect with you. There are other connections that you may be interested in, so don’t hesitate to explore the possibilities. If you don’t have a computer or internet access, give Debbie a call at 403-283-0554, ext. 224.
