Scheduled Sessions: Every Thursday from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, for eight weeks, with a total of eight sessions.
Supportive Learning: Hands-on demonstrations, step-by-step guides, one-on-one assistance, and assessments to reinforce skills.

Contributing To An Inclusive Canada
Our project fosters an inclusive Canada by equipping participants with essential digital skills, ensuring that individuals can access opportunities, services, and social interactions, thus promoting equal participation in a technology-driven society.
The project transforms participants’ lives by enhancing their digital skills and confidence, enabling them to manage online tasks independently. This empowerment reduces reliance on others and mitigates social isolation.
Consequently, this strengthens the community by integrating participants into digital spaces, fostering greater social engagement, and reducing isolation. By improving digital access and skills, we build a more connected and supportive community where all members can participate fully.
