Town Hall Meeting with Seniors Advocate
2026-03-24 14:00 - 16:00 | Capital Hotel, 208 Kenmount Road, St. John's, NL, A1B 3P2, Canada
CARP NL, NLPSPA, and the participating associations of the NL Seniors Coalition are pleased to host a public Town Hall with the Newfoundland and Labrador Seniors’ Advocate, Susan Walsh.
The Seniors’ Advocate, Susan Walsh, will highlight key findings from the Seniors’ Report 2025, providing a comprehensive profile of the wellbeing of seniors in Newfoundland and Labrador. The report includes indicators related to health, health care, finances, housing, transportation, and safety and protection. While some findings are positive, the data overwhelmingly shows that the wellbeing of seniors in this province continues to fall below the Canadian average in many areas.
Ms. Walsh looks forward to hearing directly from you. This town hall will include an opportunity to share your experiences, ask questions, and offer ideas on issues that matter to you. Your input will help inform the work of the Newfoundland and Labrador Office of the Seniors’ Advocate.
Attendance (both in-person and online) is free and open to the public; however, registration is required. Tea/coffee/a light snack will be provided for in-person attendees. Doors open at 1:30 PM.

Staying Engaged in Retirement & Continuing Your Growth
2026-04-14 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual Meeting
Through the continuing partnership with the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education (CFEE), NLPSPA and CARP NL are pleased to co-sponsor the second in the ongoing series of online webinars for 2026 that are aimed to help older persons and retirees live with dignity, confidence, and financial security in their retirement years. The next workshop will take place, as follows:
When: Tuesday, April 14, 2026
Time: 2:00-4:00 PM
Retirement isn’t just about stepping away from work — it’s about deciding what comes next. In this session, we’ll explore how staying engaged through work, volunteering, and lifelong learning can support your sense of purpose, connection, and overall well-being. Whether it’s part-time work, mentoring, or giving back to your community, participants will reflect on what meaningful engagement looks like for them, and how to approach this next stage with intention.
In this session, we will also examine the financial side of staying active in retirement, including how earned income may affect benefits, taxes, and long-term plans, as well as the trade-offs between paid work and volunteer opportunities. This session is designed to help participants think beyond “retirement” as an endpoint and instead see it as an opportunity for continued growth, contribution, and informed decision-making.
This is an online event. Registration is required.

Re-launch of the Spaces Shared Program
2026-04-23 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual Meeting
NLPSPA and the participating associations of the Newfoundland and Labrador Seniors Coalition welcome the opportunity to provide an information session on the Re-launch of the Spaces Shared Program. This relaunch is made possible by the generous support of NorthPine, whose funding has enabled the company to create dedicated resources and human support to serve communities across the province.
Spaces Shared is a program designed to connect seniors who have a spare room with post-secondary students in need of safe and affordable housing. Seniors who have extra space in their homes are matched with post-secondary students seeking stable, welcoming, and affordable accommodation-creating arrangements that benefit both sides in practical and deeply human ways.
To learn more about this program and to see if this might be a good fit for you or someone you know, join us:
WHEN: APRIL 23 (THURSDAY), 2026
TIME: 2:00 PM NST
VENUE: ONLINE BY ZOOM, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
PRESENTERS:

Hope Colbourne is the Community Engagement & Partnerships Lead. She brings a wealth of experience in community development and a deep commitment to building meaningful connections across Newfoundland and Labrador.
Rylan Kinnon is the Co-Founder and CEO of Spaces Shared. Driven by a belief that housing can foster genuine community connection, Rylan is passionate about using technology to address two of Canada’s most pressing social challenges: the student housing crisis and the isolation facing older adults aging in place
