The Brenda Strafford Foundation launches partnership with the Canadian Alliance for Intergenerational Living

The Brenda Strafford Foundation is proud to officially launch our partnership with the Canadian Alliance for Intergenerational Living. Through this partnership we will have Chris, a post-secondary student, living with us at our Wentworth Manor location for the 2024/25 school year. He will receive subsidized rent in exchange for volunteering his time with our residents.

To welcome Chris to our community and to give residents a chance to get to know their new neighbour, Wentworth Manor hosted a special meet-and-greet event. 

“A key benefit of the intergenerational program is emotional support, and it goes both ways,” said Chris. “Whenever I leave my room, I know I can walk into the hallway and spark up a conversation with anyone. Also, the opportunities to learn and share. The residents have changed my perspective on a couple things already. I’m hoping I can help them too.”

We’re excited to see the connections that will grow between Chris and our residents this year!
