Seniors Community Grant Program

SCPL is proud to announce the launch of a new project, Bridging Gaps for Older Adults, made possible through the support of the Government of Ontario’s Seniors Community Grant Program. 

This project will provide an enhanced series of programs for older adults 55+ focused on digital literacy, financial literacy, health and wellness, and the creative arts. Through these programs, we aim to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging atmosphere to help older adults build social connections, learn new or enhanced skills, and improve overall quality of life.
