WELLINGTON NORTH – The Township of Wellington North has received $25,000 in funding from the Ontario Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility through the Seniors Community Grant 2025-26 program.
In a news release, the township says it will utilize the funding to deliver the Tech & Trek: Adventures, Connections, and Learning Program.
The program is designed to create meaningful connections, promote inclusion, and support lifelong learning including:
- Community Bus Trips: These 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 Events: By bringing together seniors and local youth in a welcoming environment, these events will promote mutual understanding and shared experiences across generations.
- Drop-In Technology Sessions: These 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,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “The Township was fortunate to receive funds through this program in 2024-25, and the response from our community was overwhelmingly positive.
“Our seniors help build our communities and province,” said Matthew Rae, MPP for Perth-Wellington. “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.
