We love to see Edmontonians going the extra mile to support older people in the community. Another great way to get involved is through joining our volunteer driving team! You can help local seniors maintain their independence and quality of life, while receiving a fuel reimbursement and choosing a schedule that works for you. https://drivehappiness.ca/volunteering/

Alberta Seniors' Centre Without Walls works hard to provide free, telephone-based socialization opportunities for people 65+ residing in Alberta. This is a great resource for older people seeking to make friends, learn a new skill, or have some fun. There's even holiday-themed programming coming up in December!

Social isolation negatively impacts quality of life, physical health, and mental well-being. Addressing this issue is critical, which is why we’re excited for Devon FCSS to launch their free and confidential Check ‘n’ Chat program. It's great to see community members stepping up to support one another, particularly during these challenging times. Learn more about this project here: www.devon.ca/chat To find resources in other regions, contact: 211 Alberta.

It’s World Kindness Day today! Now more than ever it’s important to show kindness to one another.
