Age Alive has given me a voice and a place to share my story. It’s brought me closer to the younger generation and reminded me that our experiences matter. I feel valued, connected, and proud to be leaving a legacy for the future.
Age Alive’s work has a profound impact—honouring our elders, connecting with youth, and preserving stories that shape our community. We’re proud to work with them and look forward to sharing these legacies in local schools.
