Provincial Learning Event – Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults

March 15, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Register for BC CRN’s March Provincial Learning Event – Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults.

Is it time to figure out how to use your technology with confidence?  Technology keeps us connected, healthy & happy, but only if you know how to use it. Before this decade ends, over seven million Canadian seniors will be making plans to age at home. And that home is expected to have at least 15 connected devices. Technology can help older adults with digital skills remain independent, connected, and healthy. It can also make home a safe place to grow old and save governments, families, and seniors money.

But a lack of digital skills leads to social isolation, makes accessing government and other online services challenging, and creates a population of older adults threatened to be left behind as technology further integrates into our daily lives.

The Gluu Society is a nonprofit that provides digital skills learning resources to older Canadians and the people & organizations that support them.  Join Gluu‘s founder & CEO, Linda Fawcus, discuss what digital security and digital literacy skills are necessary to help older adults confidently use technology… one tap at a time.
