City of St. Catharines helping connect generations through use of technology

  • The City of St. Catharines is partnering with Cyber-Seniors to help eliminate the digital divide by providing older adults technology training, using an intergenerational volunteer model.
  • The City will connect seniors with digital mentors for technology training, with the aim of heightening their cyber skills – allowing them to keep socially connected and engaged, while also forging a unique connection with youth volunteers.
  • The program is set to launch on Aug. 9.
