KENILWORTH – The Ontario Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility will provide up to $25,000 in funding through the Seniors Community Grant 2025-26 program to support seniors programming in Wellington North.
The grant will support the Tech & Trek: Adventures, Connections, and Learning Program.
This program is designed to create meaningful connections, promote inclusion, and support lifelong learning through community bus trips, intergenerational events and drop-in technology sessions.
The bus trips will help seniors attend events and activities they may not otherwise be able to access, providing opportunities for social connection and community involvement.
Intergenerational event bring together seniors and local youth in a welcoming environment, promoting mutual understanding and shared experiences across generations.
Drop-in technology sessions will offer seniors a chance to build confidence with technology, ask questions, and receive one-on-one support in a safe, judgment-free space.
“The Township of Wellington North is very grateful to the Province of Ontario for its support of this program,” stated Mayor Andy Lennox in a press release.
“The Township was fortunate to receive funds through this program in 2024-25, and the response from our community was overwhelmingly positive.
“Seniors are a vital part of our community, and to be able to offer these services to them through the Tech & Trek program is much appreciated.”
“The Seniors Community Grant Program is helping protect the well-being of seniors by providing opportunities for greater social inclusion, volunteerism and community engagement,” stated Minister for Seniors and Accessibility Raymond Cho.
“We’re honoured to support the Township of Wellington North’s Tech & Trek: Adventures, Connections, and Learning Program that empowers seniors to explore, connect and grow,” Cho continued.
Perth-Wellington MPP Matthew Rae said “Our seniors help build our communities and province.
“Our government continues to support these important senior programs, ensuring our seniors can enjoy their golden years, while staying active and healthy.”
Programming will begin this summer, concluding in March 2026.
