About Us
What is the Bridging the Gap Program?
The purpose of this program is to support the wellbeing of seniors 55+ in years through programming in Strathmore & Wheatland County.
Bridging the Gap (known as "BTG") engages seniors with programming that supports social participation and inclusion. In turn, seniors are encouraged to volunteer their life skills, knowledge and experience back into the community.
Bridging the Gap is a program of the Growing Families Society.
