Social Action
Empowering Seniors Through Awareness and Education
True advocacy is based on understanding and empowering ourselves and others. Through education and information sharing, the Cummings Centre Social Action Committee raises awareness about key issues facing seniors today such as ageism, Artificial Intelligence (AI), consumer protection, Elder abuse, frauds and scams, tenants’ rights, and so many other timely topics. The Social Action Committee is responsible for researching, planning and offering programs and resources that respond thoughtfully to questions and concerns of seniors.
The Social Action Committee is planning two upcoming sessions on Frauds and Scams this winter. Details to follow.
The three “U’s” of Fraud
Scammers often tell victims not to tell anyone. Secrecy and pressure are red flags!
A presentation on Tenant and Landlord Rights is being planned for late Winter 2026.
