About
Each year on June 1, Canadians recognize Intergenerational Day (IG Day) to celebrate the mutual benefits of building relationships across generations.
CNPEA and EAPO, in collaboration with I2i Society and IG Connections, are hosting a webinar to highlight IG programs and initiatives across the country. These include: GrandPals (ON), Mutual Mentoring Program (AB), and special High School programs in New Brunswick. We will also introduce the new Intergenerational Action Plan in New Brunswick. Our fabulous speakers will share their experience, talk about how IG connections can encourage social involvement and transfer of knowledge, and build on the strengths of youth and seniors to foster stronger communities. We will also explain how you can get engaged, by implementing and adapting intergenerational programs in your communities or by volunteering with local initiatives.
