New Program from the Ugpi’ganjig Health Centre – Adopt an Elder

ADOPT AN ELDER – SPREAD KINDNESS! 🪶

We are looking for youth (grades 6-12) who would like to participate in our Adopt an Elder Program!

This is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to build connections with our Elders, show appreciation, and spread acts of kindness through simple, and thoughtful ways.

Youth who sign up will be paired with an Elder from mid November until February 2027. During this time, we encourage participants to brighten their Elder’s days through small acts of kindness, thoughtful gestures, visits, cards, or simply taking the time to connect and let them know they are appreciated.

In March 2027, we will begin a new round of the program, pairing youth with different Elders to continue building relationships and spreading kindness throughout our generations.

Our Elders hold so much knowledge, wisdom, and history. This is a small way for our youth to give back, learn from them, and remind them how valued they are. 🪶

Interested youth are encouraged to sign up by calling the health centre at 506.684.5002! Let’s bring our generations together, one act of kindness at a time!
