Protect the older adults you serve from online fraud
Protect the older adults you serve from online fraud
A plain-language digital safety program for seniors, delivered through the organizations they already trust.
Canadians reported $643 million in fraud losses in 2024, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre estimates that reported losses represent only 5 to 10 percent of total fraud losses in Canada. Older adults, newcomers, and other vulnerable populations are among those most affected. Your patrons and residents are online now. The safety education built for them is not.

The federal Digital Literacy Exchange Program ended on March 31, 2025. It had supported digital literacy initiatives for Canadians facing barriers, including people aged 65 or older, low-income individuals, newcomers, rural residents, and others.
