Connected Canadians (CC) is a national nonprofit organization with a
mandate to provide free technology training and support to Canadian
seniors, fostering digital literacy skills to reduce isolation and loneliness and
improve quality of life. Many Connected Canadians mentors are new
immigrants to Canada, highly skilled in technology, who benefit from the
conversational opportunities and Canadian workplace experience, while
senior clients feel pride and connection in welcoming these newcomers into
their communities. Connected Canadians' partners and supporters include
Adobe Canada, Amazon Canada, Capgemini, Deloitte and the National
Gallery of Canada. By 2030, CC's goal is for all Canadian seniors to have
access to free technology training and support regardless of where they
