SmartStart - Smartphone Workshops

Introducing SmartStart, a welcoming, beginner-friendly workshop designed to help older adults feel more confident, comfortable, and connected when using a smartphone. Whether you are brand new to smartphones or would simply like a refresher on the basics, this 6-week program will provide practical, hands-on learning in a supportive small group environment. SmartStart is designed in partnership with our older adult volunteer advisory committee and South Muskoka Literacy Society to empower older adults on how to use technology in ways that support independence, communication, safety, and everyday convenience.

No advanced experience is required—just bring your smartphone, your questions, and a willingness to learn. Join us for SmartStart and take the first step toward feeling more in control of your device and more connected to the people, services, and information that matter most.
