Are you a senior and need tech help and the Learning Centre is unavailable, reach out to Connected Canadians.

We are a nonprofit organization that promotes digital literacy skills amongst seniors and older adults, by providing technology training and support. We believe that all people should be empowered to use technology safely and effectively, to engage with loved ones and enhance quality of life.
