​In an effort to minimize boredom and loneliness for residents living in long-term care during this challenging time, the Ontario CLRI at Bruyère and iGen Ottawa have put together a list of online resources for recreation therapists and recreation professionals to use in programming for residents.

The links in the document do not contain Ontario CLRI or iGen Ottawa content and have not been thoroughly screened. While we cannot vouch for all the content contained in these links, each contains some content we believe is helpful for the LTC sector.
