鈥淲hether you鈥檙e a retiree with knowledge to share, a business or organization that could benefit from expert advice, or an individual seeking advice or guidance to help build your career or business, The Mentoring Plus Strategy website is a great place to start,鈥� says Sacha Brake, The Mentoring Plus Strategy Coordinator for Truro/Colchester.聽 Brake provided leadership for the development of the project鈥檚 website and is very happy to see the project come to fruition.聽 鈥淲e鈥檙e so excited to have this new tool in place to share information about our project which is being piloted in the towns of Kentville, New Glasgow, and Truro and in the counties surrounding them.鈥�

The site will also be a place where retirees and seniors can learn about an upcoming free 鈥淐omputer Basics for Seniors鈥� training on how to use technology.聽 鈥淲hat the pandemic has taught us is that we need to adapt in order to connect with people from different areas, with different circumstances, and different levels of knowledge around technology,鈥� says Brake.聽 鈥淭his free training is a way for us to level the playing field for retirees who aren鈥檛 entirely comfortable with things like computers, social media, zoom calls, etc.鈥�
