Community Circle Program:

TCA's Community Circle’s program seeks to engage Toronto’s diverse older adult communities and reduce social isolation during COVID-19. We intend to collaborate with local communities and host virtual webinars, in areas such as arts and culture, recreation, health and fitness and social services. We hope to create a virtual experience which provides a sense of belongingness that is safe, healthy and fun. The program is funded by way of a grant from the Resilient Communities Fund through Ontario Trillium Foundation.
