ElderCollege running a spring online semester
By Lloyd Brown-John Canterbury ElderCollege, a volunteer based program of informative, interesting and useful courses for folks aged 55 and better, opened course registrations on Monday, May 17. A total of 18 online courses (via Zoom) are being offered. Of those courses, 15 require fees while three courses are being offered free of charge. ElderCollege, now entering its 11th year of offering courses, has delivered almost 40 courses online via Zoom during the Covid pandemic. For two semesters, Autumn 2020 and early Spring 2021, ElderCollege was able to offer courses free of charge thanks to an almost $26,000 grant. The grant, administered by the Windsor-Essex Community Foundation, was funded under the Government of Canada Emergency Support Fund. The much-appreciated grant permitted ElderCollege to develop an online learning platform and gain experience both for instructors and the
over 2,000 people who registered in the two semesters of courses. The grant expired on March 31. and now, with sufficient experience, the online platform will permit Canterbury ElderCollege to continue offering its unique blend of practical, interesting and often entertaining short courses for seniors. The grant supported the online effort, now ElderCollege is on its own. One aspect of the online experience so far for ElderCollege has been opportunities for people throughout Ontario, Canada, the United States and even abroad to enjoy. In this sense, ElderCollege certainly has gone “national” and even “global”. Based at Canterbury College at the University of Windsor and supported by Canterbury College, which provides office space and basic financial support, ElderCollege has created amazing opportunities for those aged 55 and better to keep their minds active. An astonishing array of courses will be offered in this brief May-June Se-
