Great news! The Intergenerational Speaker Series has received a New Horizons Seniors Program Grant which will allow us to offer a third year of the series.

CALL has partnered with the Nursing Program at Mt. Royal University to offer a series of five lectures in the next year that will bring together older adults and university students to meet and engage in discussion. It will be a unique opportunity for learning and for forming new connections across generations.

Over the coming year we will offer 5 events, each beginning with a guest speaker, a panel, a film … something to set the stage and provide a focus for a lively and informative discussion. Following a light lunch snack, we will meet in small intergenerational groups for a facilitated conversation. All the events will take place in the Lincoln Park Room of Mt. Royal University from 11 am to 1pm.

Save the Date for 2024-2025: Other events in the series will be held at the same time and place on
September 25, November 20, January 28, March 25, May 21
Mark your calendar and look forward to details in upcoming newsletters.
