John Oldham volunteers regularly at Oak Table, a soup kitchen and resource centre in Winnipeg's Osborne Village. 75-year-old John Oldham is volunteering at Oak Table more than ever during the pandemic. That eagerness to share knowledge with the next generation is a driving force for older volunteers, according to Rick Baker of the Canadian Association of Retired People. He points to a retired statistician now helping the organization with a survey on how the pandemic has affected seniors. She's been using computer skills developed during her decades-long career to help create a user-friendly, online system to help seniors access services.
