Seniors Skyping Seniors

Talk to your friends and family face-to-face, online and FREE!

21st century communication has arrived...

Seniors Skyping Seniors is a federally-funded, 12 month pilot project based in Guelph and sponsored by Harcourt Memorial United Church. We are trying to learn if Skype can be an effective tool for Seniors to visit with Seniors to help reduce the feeling of social isolation.

If you are a Senior living in Guelph-Wellington then consider becoming involved - the program is FREE!
