Help break the isolation of ÆßÐDzʿª½± seniors and retirees
March 17th, 2020
Help us help the older members of our community. People over 70 are supposed to be staying inside at home.
If you are a staff member or a retiree over 70, let us know if you need a friendly telephone visit or if you could use a grocery or pharmacy drop off.
Younger staff, let us know if you are available to help out. We will match you up!
Please contact Carey-Ann Pawsey or Lucy Segal at cpawsey@dawsoncollege.qc.ca or at lsegal@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
