We’re so happy to introduce the new Partnership Program through the Seniors’ Centre Without Walls!
The SCWW Partnership Program works with partner organizations across Ontario and Atlantic Canada so they can run their own impactful SCWW program that enhances the health and wellbeing of older adults in their community. These programs encourage meaningful connections, mental stimulation, and life-long learning. Learn more at: https://thegoodcompanions.ca/programs-services/scww-partnership/
