It could also benefit all Canadian seniors. \nPosiden’ki is designed for Ukrainian or Russian-speaking women aged 60 and above\, whether you’re new to Canada or have been part of the community for years. In our current group\, approximately two-thirds are Ukrainian newcomers\, while the remaining third are locals who have lived in Canada for 20 years or more. Additionally\, our participants often bring their family members\, including kids and grandkids\, making our gatherings inclusive family events. Lean more about Posiden’ki. \n \nWhy Posiden’ki Matters\n\n\nCombatting Loneliness and Isolation: Many seniors in Canada\, especially since Covid\, face loneliness and social isolation.
