Senior Centre without walls

Seniors’ Centre Without Walls (SCWW) is a free interactive telephone-based program that connects seniors 50+. It is a seniors’ centre from the comfort of home!

Seniors’ Centre Without Walls Basics:

· Completely free program

· You do not need to be a member of South Gate Centre

· Programs are multi-person phone conversations (or conference calls)

How do I participate in the calls?
