Thanks to a grant, RPL is running a series for those 55+!
Seniors of Renfrew: Their Stories
Seniors of Renfrew is part of the Renfrew Public Library’s Creative Aging series. The aim of this project is to build a collection of stories and portraits from the community to celebrate and honour all of the diverse journeys that brought people to this area.
We invite anyone in the community, aged 55 and over to come in for an interview so we can learn about the unique stories and experiences that bring people and/or their families to Renfrew. At the same time, we ask for a photograph.
If you or someone you know would like to participate, please reach out. We would love to include your stories as well! We will happily add it to the collection. Please find the interview template below and drop it off at the library or send it to us at info@renfrewlibrary.ca.
Creative Aging Programs
The Renfrew Library is running Creative Aging programs for seniors in the community 55+. There will be an assortment of program themes running from April 2022 – 2023. The Creative Aging program at the Renfrew Public Library has been funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors program and free of charge to participate.
