By Rosalind Russell – The CyberSmarts for Seniors Project out of Elliot Lake is launching a new online resource today to help local seniors get comfortable with technology.
Golden Voices spokesperson, Celia Sankar, says the website is a “one-stop shop” designed specifically for older adults who want to use the internet but may feel nervous about where to start.
She says the resource is free and easy to use and is embedded in the GoldenVoices.com website, a local multimedia online magazine-style portal dedicated to seniors.
Sankar says the hub features simple videos, clear illustrations, and helpful guides in both English and French showing seniors how to use their phones, tablets, or computers to stay in touch with their neighbours and family, how to find government services online, and staying safe when it comes to internet safety and spotting scams.
The Project was funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program, ELNOS and Tim Hortons,
The Project ran for 12 months from March 2025 and included in-person training for seniors in using digital devices and staying safe amidst rapidly changing technology.
