New Horizons for Seniors Program funded Ottawa Valley Community Arts to bring seniors and youth together to participate in inter-generational dialogue and art-making about age discrimination.

Starting in the spring of 2020 and moving with the waves of the pandemic, photographic artist Maureen MacMillan created 50 portraits each capturing a moment in the diverse experiences of seniors living in the western Ottawa Valley seniors.

We all have a story to tell no matter our age, and sharing them is how we learn about ourselves and others. "We live our lives forward, but understand them backward."
