SPLC’s Adult Day Program space, located at 3333 Finch Avenue East, has received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) for space renovations. The renovations are scheduled to begin June, 2019.
The space is used by SPLC’s Adult Day Programs and by other community groups for things like caregiver support groups, technology and lifelong learning classes along with multicultural community kitchens and communal meals. Renovations to the space will include installing non-slip flooring, an accessible sink and commercial dishwasher, improved lighting and signage (including Braille), replacing tables and chairs and other needed upgrades.
These renovations will modernize the program space, made it more seniors-friendly and made it more accessible for those living with disabilities or dementia.
he changes also help better support social gatherings and encourage participation in local community life, reducing the social isolation often faced by Scarborough’s low-income seniors who live alone and immigrant communities.
Thank you to OTF for their generous support!
