Some of us have been using the telephone since the days of rotary dialing.
Now, with the COVID crisis forcing us into social isolation, and old solution is raising its head in a new format.
Nikki Rumbelow tells us a collaboration between the Seniors Active Living Centre, the Arnprior Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home, the Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support and the Golden Age Activity Centre has come together to offer telephone-based participatory programming for the area’s elderly.
Nikki says it’s not a new idea- Good Companions of Ottawa use the format, and Barry’s Bay has offered Trivia sessions Wednesdays for the past couple of years.
To register, call the Seniors Active Living Centre for Arnprior-McNab-Braeside or Renfrew and Area Seniors Home Support.
The first session will take place Tuesday May 5th.
