Things to do
There are many ways for older adults to make and enjoy social connections. Personal interests, passions and preferences can help determine the sort of connections you make, or suggest to others.
Below, you’ll find ideas to get you started, including programs, clubs, sessions, and venues.
-
Being physically active can be a great way to connect. Learn more about fitness classes, physical activity videos to try with a friend, walking groups and more.
-
Dive into conversation around shared interests to build more connections. Join a discussion group, find a phone buddy, pen pal and more.
-
Connect through common interests or connect with others to learn something new. Take a class, learn a new hobby, take a virtual tour and more.
-
Giving back can be a great way to connect with others in a meaningful way. Learn about volunteer opportunities.
The Age-Friendly Calgary social isolation awareness campaign is a collaboration between The City and community partners as part of the Age-Friendly Calgary initiative.
