Aging Well & Talking Café

Living With a Disability

Learn how Independent Living Centre Kingston can support you and your loved ones. This event is followed by a Talking Café with refreshments facilitated by Compassionate Communities Kingston.

Independent Living Centre Kingston (ILCK) was founded by people with disabilities in the late 80s. ILCK is a disability resource center that provides information, support, and skill building programs that address disability issues. ILCK provides knowledge and first hand experience that meets the needs of people with disabilities in our community including family, friends, and local health care providers.

Natalie Dupuis, Programs and Services Manager will highlight the organizations services, including Access to Independence, Peer Support, and the Direct Funding Program

Explore a wide variety of topics in this bi-weekly speakers' series for Older Adults. Following each session, at 3:30 PM, Compassionate Communities Kingston will facilitate an informal Talking Café. Participants are invited to stay and socialize.
