Overview
We are excited to introduce an intergenerational symposium to empower youth and seniors to join together to create the inclusive and united communities they dream of. GenV: The Great Conversation will bring together youth (age 14-22) and older adults (age 55+) to inspire them to have dialogue and work towards achieving collective care, community belonging, and an age-friendly community. We will have a keynote speaker, a performer, volunteer stories and a facilitated visioning exercise for the youth and older adults to discuss what their dreams are for a liberated, more inclusive, and interconnected future for Peel region.

About Gen V:
Before Millennials, Boomers, Zoomers, before Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, there were people with a common bond that cut across time. A people united by their spirit, their hope, their vision for the future. These people are Generation V!
What does the V stand for?
The V stands for whatever you want it to stand for. Volunteerism? Voice? When you’re in Generation V, only you can define yourself.
