For a 6th year @ottawacity has proclaimed #IntergenerationalDay--a day to promote the value of intergenerational connections. Let's continue to seek out new opportunities to connect year-round. Even small acts can be a bridge between generations, to share experiences and smiles!

[iGenOttawa @iGenOttawa]

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

"It gets me out… Sometimes you meet people and you have a little visit and I enjoy it," said Pagé."
