Seniors Community Connections (previously known as Illahee Community Connections) is a program for seniors’ groups within five cultural and linguistic communities: Iranian, Afghan, Somali and Spanish-speaking. Seniors from these communities meet in several locations in Toronto, and Family Service provides:

• workshops on topics relevant to seniors, such as stress management, elder abuse, healthy living, volunteering, and financial matters.
• outings to places of interest, such as the Aga Khan Museum, the ROM, and Niagara Falls
• peer support groups where seniors can meet and share their ideas and stories, give and receive support to each other and share resources.
• diverse events where seniors come to learn and engage with others.
