[Re]Connected Seniors is a way for families and friends to stay connected. The project was created by Villa Charities and funded in part by the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Emergency Community Support Fund, with funds administered by United Way of Greater Toronto.
  
Through the use of technology, iPads will be lent for FREE to a limited number of apartment building residents to discover new ways of staying in touch and learning. Villa Charities will be installing free internet in the apartment building common rooms and offering free public online workshops and social activities for all interested seniors. The project will begin in October 2020 and end March 31, 2021.
