A program that helps people who are caregivers for seniors in New Brunswick is expanding. The Seniors Care Navigation Workshop was developed at New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) in 2022, and now thanks to a $2 million investment from the provincial government it will be offered in both official languages. “I personally want to go out into the community and not only help seniors, but help them live and help them find their purpose again and help them reconnect with the community,” she said.

Other students who’ve helped facilitate the program say they’ve also been inspired to continue working with seniors.
