Gateway Centre set to host 'Senior Summer Camp' centred on tech

The Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (GERH) is set to host its annual "Senior Summer Camp" to help the elderly better understand technology.

This year's drop-in session will be held at the Goderich Royal Canadian Legion on June 3 from 9 a.m. until noon.

From 9-10 a.m., Randy Carroll, the Goderich Royal Canadian Legion Branch 109 President, will kick off the event with a presentation celebrating 100 years of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Then from 10-11 a.m. seniors can receive one-on-one tech support to learn how to detect scams, online shop, send crafts and recipes, and troubleshoot their devices. Following that, there will be a free BBQ lunch and a chance to connect with other community members.

For more information about the project visit https://www.gatewayruralhealth.ca/legionlearningandlounge or call at (519)-612-1053.
