MPC Foundation is a grassroots community based organization. The contributions of time, talent and effort of our volunteers has been and continues to be critical to our ability to serve seniors in need.

We believe in the TEAM principle - Together Everyone Achieves More. We work closely with community organizations and service providers to ensure that seniors receive the services they need. The needs are great but the labours are few. Reach out and connect with us. We can do amazing things together!

Join us to welcome the Lunar New Year and celebrate the Year of the Horse in 2026. We will enjoy festivities in Chinatown which will include a festive bazaar, delicious 9-course Chinese lunch and exciting Chinese performances. 

We would like to thank the City of Calgary for funding this initiative for our clients.

Last month, our "Tech Buddy" pilot program at the Lakeview Community Association was more than just a success—it was a joyful, buzzing hub of intergenerational learning.

We watched with pride as enthusiastic students from Connect Charter School patiently sat alongside older adults, guiding them through the world of smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The room was filled not just with questions about apps and settings, but with laughter, shared stories, and mutual respect. The seniors gained invaluable digital confidence, while the students discovered the reward of sharing their knowledge and connecting with a different generation.

This is the heart of what we do. Intergenerational learning bridges gaps, builds community, and reminds us that everyone has something to teach and something to learn. It transforms a simple tech lesson into a meaningful human connection, and the results are truly beautiful.

Want to join our growing Tech Buddy community? We have more classes coming up!
