We are committed to making life a little less lonely for isolated seniors.
One of the ways that we want to help is to get seniors comfortable with basic technology. We want to help you to stay in touch with family and friends, access programs and services, and find information quickly and efficiently. |

New Horizons Seniors ProgramSwitched on Seniors was able to get started thanks to a grant from the Canadian Government through their New Horizons for Seniors Program and sponsorship from St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Once meetings get started we will be meeting at St. Andrew's at 143 Main Street North in Markham.
Our plan is to hold weekly meetings with speakers, refreshments and the all important social interaction. That's the plan! However until the COVID 19 issue is resolved we will be using this website as a communications medium to get you started on your technology journey.

Embracing technology will open numerous doors for you. Technology today is very 'mobile' and so you can access our web site and video help that you need from any device and connected location. |

COVID 19 continues to be a great disruption in our daily lives. Our hope is naturally that the pandemic comes to a swift end and also that this web site will enable you to get started in exploring the the technology world.
