The sharing might lead to the development of a time bank model in serving seniors in Edmonton, Canada. The meeting also served as a professional connection building between Edmonton and Hong Kong for future experience and knowledge exchange in seniors support and services.
Attendees of the video conference includes :
From Canada :
Mr Paul Cheung, Vice-Chair of the board of the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council and his members (Canada)
From Hong Kong :
Ms. KO, Ming Hui - Service Supervisor, SKH Tseung Kwan O Elderly Services

The meeting was very successful. While STESC shared the current practices and road ahead of the WOW project, HINCare team shared the knowledge and efforts in providing an artificial intelligent based matching platform and mobile app for the WOW time bank project.
