Trust Us is an intergenerational community initiative developed to bridge the gap between teens and seniors. The aim is to foster friendlier, safer communities and to provide opportunities for teens and seniors to learn from each other. A group of teens and seniors came together to create intergenerational connections in the Gorge Tillicum neighbourhood in Victoria, BC. Their hope is to inspire other communities and neighbourhoods to do the same. The Trust Us project was sponsored by Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation, and hosted in partnership with Vancouver Island Health Authority, Saanich Parks and Recreation, and BC Healthy Communities Society, and funded in part by the New Horizons for Seniors Program.
