Why Connect?

The focus of this year's Loneliness Awareness Week is on our seniors.
 
Building connections with friends, family, neighbours, and even the stranger you're waiting in line beside, plays an important role in our social health for all Canadians. 
 
Recognizing that these opportunities are around us each day is one part of the solution to the solution of disconnected seniors. The other, is the recognition that everyone of us has the opportunity to be part of the solution to seniors loneliness by reaching out and building connections that make our seniors happier, healthier and live longer.
