Tech help, right where you are

Silver Wizard brings friendly, approachable tech support directly into the community.

Through pop-up events, workshops, and drop-in tech help sessions, we meet older adults where they already gather, making technology more accessible for everyone.

You’ll find Silver Wizard at shopping malls, community centres, libraries, retirement residences, and local events across the Greater Toronto Area.
