- Community engagement
Reflections and Learnings
The CNSA's key learning from this event was to focus on holding only one activity each Senior's Week - in this instance, they felt they had stretched themselves too far and planned too many simultaneous events, meaning that Seniors found it difficult to choose which event to attend. They will plan to bring generations together for their next year's Seniors Week activity.
