 MPC Foundation is pleased to release two accessible legal guides developed in collaboration with PBSC Calgary law student volunteers, under the supervision of Carina Au (Barrister & Solicitor). These resources are designed to help older adults understand key legal concepts in clear, plain language. They are free and available as accessible PDFs.
Disclaimer: PBSC volunteers are not lawyers and are not authorized to provide legal advice. This guide contains general information only. Consult a lawyer for legal advice.  We are thrilled to share a milestone from our Community-Based Income Tax Services for Seniors Program: to date, we have helped over 600 Calgarians access the benefits and credits they deserve—completely free of charge.
This program is about more than just filing taxes. It’s about ensuring our older adults feel supported, respected, and empowered. Through in-person clinics at local community hubs, trained volunteers provide one-on-one assistance to seniors with modest incomes and simple tax situations. What makes this program special? - Personalized Support: Stress-free, confidential appointments. - Multilingual Service: Help offered in various languages (based on volunteer availability). - Financial Empowerment: We don’t just file taxes; we help seniors understand their entitlements to foster confidence and independence. - No Cost: Completely free support to alleviate financial stress. Thank you to our amazing volunteers and partners for helping us make a real difference in our community! 💙  Back by popular demand!
Mark your calendars for our technology class for 55+ taking place on Wednesday, February 25 from 10 - 11:30am at the Lakeview Community Association (6110 34 ST SW). This class will take place in partnership with Connect Charter School students! Register by emailing [email protected] or calling 587-480-7373.  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! Upcoming Lakeview Community Classes: Stay tuned for new dates! We are currently planning our next round of beginner-friendly sessions at the Lakeview Community Association.
