NACTV’s Community Round Table program recently made a significant impact by shining a spotlight on the pressing needs of seniors in the area. The program brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including local municipality representatives and community organizations, all united by a common goal: to improve the quality of life for seniors.
During the discussion, they explored the challenges facing the senior community and identified areas where collaboration could make a difference. The exchange of ideas fostered a sense of shared responsibility, with each group offering valuable insights on how they can work together to create better support systems.
This roundtable session marked an important step in not only raising awareness of senior needs but also in building a network of people and organizations dedicated to addressing them. The conversations that took place are set to spark lasting change, ensuring that the senior population’s needs are met with compassion and collective action.

About LJI
LJI Impact is the section of commediaportal.ca where the journalists and their organizations participating in CACTUS' Local Journalism Initiative can share their greatest successes.
Through the written stories, photos and videos you see in the LJI Impact section, you'll be able to read first hand accounts about how the presence of a community journalist is making a difference in communities across Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative and the Community Media Portal.
The Community Media Portal is a gateway to the audio-visual media created by community media centres across Canada. These include traditional community TV and radio stations, as well as online and new media production centres.
Community media are not-for-profit production hubs owned and operated by the communities they serve, established both to provide local content and reflection for their communities, as well as media training and access for ordinary citizens to the latest tools of media production, whether traditional TV and radio, social and online media, virtual reality, augmented reality or video games.
The Community Media Portal has been funded by the Local Journalism Initiative (the LJI) of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and administered by the Canadian Association of Community Television Users and Stations (CACTUS) in association with the Fédération des télévisions communautaires autonomes du Québec (the Fédération). Under the LJI, over 100 journalists have been placed in underserved communities and asked to produce civic content that underpins Canadian democratic life.
