This week, we’re focusing on the power of kindness! A small act of kindness can go a long way, especially when it crosses generational lines. Take a moment to show someone from a different generation that you care.
Here are some ways to explore this week’s theme:
Give a Compliment
Share a genuine compliment with someone from another generation, whether it's a neighbour, a coworker, or a family member. It could brighten their day and help build a stronger connection.
Example: "I admire the way you always know how to make people feel welcome!"

Offer Help
Look for an opportunity to help someone from another generation—whether it's offering a hand with groceries, assisting with a tech issue, or providing support in another way.
Example: "I helped my elderly neighbour organize her garden—she was so grateful!"
Let us know what you did and how it made a difference!
Share a Smile
Sometimes, a simple smile can go a long way. Take a moment to greet someone with a smile—whether you’re at the store, walking down the street, or visiting a family member.
Example: "I exchanged smiles with someone while waiting in line—it was a simple moment that brightened my day."

Earlier this week, I worked alongside an older person to help them log into a social networking website which has enabled her to connect and communicate with family whenever she wishes.
