healthy communities for seniors

In collaboration with the Government of Canada, Community Foundations of Canada, Fondation du Grand Montréal, Table de quartier Peter-McGill, & Groupe Harmonie, the YD will be offering a series of outdoor activities starting summer 2023! This initiative aims to create healthier communities for older adults, by providing a variety of activities that improve physical and mental health, and reduce urban isolation. Some of the activities available this year include meditation in the park, urban fitness walking, and creative dance. For seniors with reduced mobility, we are also mailing cultural booklets (full of recipes, at-home exercises, interactive games, and more!) to enjoy at home.
