Why We Focus on These Groups
Seniors
Barriers for seniors often include a lack of confidence and foundational skills with new technologies, economic burdens of devices and data plans, and age-related accessibility challenges that can make digital tools difficult to use.
Newcomers
Newcomers face unique challenges, including language barriers, unfamiliarity with Canadian digital systems (for banking, government services, etc.), and difficulties integrating into the digital job market and social fabric.
Low-Income Individuals
The high cost of internet services and devices is a primary barrier, leading to digital exclusion that limits access to education, employment opportunities, and essential government services.
An Intersectional Perspective
We recognize that these barriers often overlap. A low-income senior who is also a newcomer faces compounded challenges. Our approach is to understand these intersecting disadvantages and provide holistic support tailored to the individual's complete reality.
