The Elgin Federation of Agriculture is turning to technology, not to increase crop yields in this case, but to allow residents of Elgin county long-term care homes keep in touch with family during the pandemic. Tanya Noble, manager of therapy and programs with the County of Elgin says the six iPads will be put to good use at the three county facilities.
Federation president Donna Lunn says they partnered with three other agriculture organizations to provide the iPads.
Noble says two iPads will go to each of Terrace Lodge in Malahide, Bobier Villa in Dutton and Elgin Manor in Southwold.
Lunn says the federation will explore the possibility of providing additional iPads to help residents cope with the COVID-19 limitations on contact with family members.
