Larissa Kowalski and Dr. Lesley Jessiman from the Community Health and Social Innovation Hub at the University of the Fraser Valley are conducting a study to examine how older adults were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to know about your experiences and perceptions of using online communication to help maintain social connections. Your input would therefore be very much appreciated!

Participation in this study is completely voluntary and all responses to the survey are anonymous. To show our appreciation, online survey participants will be entered into a prize draw to win a $100 visa gift card, with the odds of winning being 3:100.
