Interested in sharing your story as a newcomer senior in Ottawa?

Please join us for this facilitated discussion to listen to and share your own experiences with accessing healthy and affordable food as well as services, resources and information related to food and food safety in Ottawa.

What to expect?

During the workshop, you will be asked some questions about the different challenges you may have faced when first arriving in Canada. This could be challenges related to navigating unfamiliar grocery stores, having challenges finding familiar foods and any health-related challenges that arose from this.

You will also be asked about the solutions you found or resources/ services that would have been helpful in the transition related to food and nutrition.

By joining, you will be helping newcomer seniors in their transition to living in Canada by informing valuable resources.

Limited spots available. Please contact Sydney Walter at swalter@familiescanada.ca to register!
