You are invited to become a Community Connector. The role is to “signpost” people to community services available to improve health and wellbeing. Often people aren’t aware of all the support services in our community. You are trained to know about the directories that exist.

We have trained 250 citizens so far. If we could train 1,000 people and each one made six connections a year, that would mean that 6,000 people a year would know about how to find available help when needed.

It feels good to help others and to feel as sense of community belonging. Join our trained citizens who can say “I know what’s out there” rather than “I wish I knew”. The next session is:

Are you an older adult who would like to make some new social connections?  We have a partnership with the Kingston Frontenac Public Library to hold these free events. We provide a welcoming space for meaningful conversations and community connections.  These casual conversations are lightly facilitated and topics of interest are chosen by participants.  Join us for one event or for all six of them!

Talking Cafés are places to meet new people, make friends, have fun, chat to someone about community support services available and sometimes find innovative solutions to problems. They are casual and “lightly facilitated” by a facilitator. People can speak or just listen and come and go as they wish. Participants decide the agenda through the subjects they raise in conversation.
