  Seniors\u2019 Group<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  <\/strong><\/p>\n

  Every Friday afternoon, seniors gather at the MCC for an hour-long conversation circle session, where they make friends and learn about each other, Canadian culture, and health awareness, among other things. These sessions give seniors the opportunity to share their experiences with one another and escape the stress and pressure of settlement and social isolation. Based on the principle of lifelong learning, we consider the individual needs and interests of each participant and help them achieve their goals through senior-specific teaching methods to build seniors\u2019 confidence and language skills.<\/p>\n
