Intergenerational Day is Saturday! iGenOttawa has selected the theme, “Connection, care, community.” Think about simple ways you could connect with someone from another generation. Maybe invite a family friend or neighbour to a community event, such as Doors Open Ottawa! 🎶

Volunteering is a wonderful way to connect with people of different ages. Many organizations offer opportunities to share one's time and interests with another generation, including in our schools and long-term care homes. #intergenerational #ottcity
