In the 2022-23 fiscal year, the seniors program supported senior residents in carefully navigating a return back to in-person group programming given the new normal of living and working within the COVID-19 context.

Seniors embraced the in-person workshops and activities to lessen social isolation and feel more connected to others. This year, we ran the "Talk It Out, Work It Out", which was supported by the community wellbeing team, and focused on providing seniors with group programming focused on their mental and physical health. To support participating in the program, the team conducted weekly wellness calls and check-ins. Through this program, the team focused on supporting seniors healing through the vehicles of communicating their stress and worries, music therapy, dancing and physical movement. During this fiscal year, a 225% growth in new participants occurred, which continues to grow significantly in the 2023-24 year.
