The knitting activity is considered at GAFFO as the quintessential activity that promotes the transfer of intergenerational experiences of our elders in our girls. This activity is animated by groups of elders who are animated by the desire to perpetuate this art of knitting
and to break their isolation share their experiences by mentoring our young girls.
In addition to allowing our elders volunteers to feel useful in the community and break their isolation, this activity acts as calming for many seniors say attest to feel less nervous because they have something useful to look.
This activity also helps our recent immigrant clients in the Scarborough area with mitts, scarves and tuques.
