Canada Bridges is undertaking an equity audit with the support of Future Ancestor Services, to identify and prioritize areas for change within our organization and continue our journey in building capacity towards these changes. This initiative builds off of on-going anti-racism learning and conversations and will help our organization continue to adapt in ways that are relevant to the communities we serve and team members who carry out this work. The ultimate goal of the audit is to identify and develop strategies to remove systemic barriers within our organization that are preventing equitable services and opportunities for everyone involved in the organization.
Confederation Park 55+ in collaboration with 7 other organizations is investigating the feasibility of having one dedicated website for all 8 organizations. The group feels it would be easier for anyone wishing to access programming, events, etc. to be on one website, with links for each centre instead of searching 8 different websites. In January of this year 5 centres launched a “Super Membership” for a fee of $50.00. Since January an additional 3 centres have joined the group. The centres who are part of this collaboration include the following: Bow Cliff Seniors, Bowness Seniors, Confederation Park 55+ Activity Centre, Greater Forest Lawn 55+, Ogden 50+ Activity, Parkdale Nifty 50’s, Unison at Kerby and West Hillhurst Go-getters,
