On Saturday, September 26, 2026, iTalkBB joined Yee Hong Foundation’s Charity Walk and Family Fun Day at Milliken District Park in Scarborough. The walk and family activities brought older adults, relatives, volunteers and neighbours together around the needs of seniors and families who need care.
How did iTalkBB take part in Yee Hong’s 2026 Charity Walk and Family Fun Day?
| Direct Answer On September 26, 2026, iTalkBB joined Yee Hong Foundation’s Charity Walk and Family Fun Day at Milliken District Park in Scarborough. The team hosted a booth and met visitors. |
The event combined a charity walk with family activities. Visitors could walk with relatives and friends, then enjoy food, entertainment and a lucky draw at the carnival. The format gave different generations a way to take part together and gave community partners an opportunity to connect around seniors’ services.
Yee Hong Foundation says proceeds from the event will support construction of the Yee Hong Ng Siu Chan Centre, a long-term care home. Long-term care resources matter to older adults who need ongoing support and to the relatives and caregivers alongside them. By taking part, iTalkBB hopes to draw attention to these needs and to the older adults and families who may benefit in the future.
Why connect Chinese Canadian families with the wider multicultural community?
| Direct Answer iTalkBB has long served Chinese Canadian families and understands that language, cultural familiarity and family connections matter to many older adults. We joined the event to recognize seniors’ needs alongside Chinese Canadian families and neighbours from other backgrounds, and to show caregivers that their community is willing to listen and care. |
Families, volunteers and community partners participated in Yee Hong’s walk and family day. Seniors’ services affect not only older adults, but also relatives and caregivers who support them. Walking and talking together in the park can carry that concern beyond individual households and into the wider community.
What happened at the iTalkBB booth?
| Direct Answer The iTalkBB team set up a booth with service information, a prize wheel and a range of small gifts. The booth gave us a place to speak directly with visitors and was the main way iTalkBB participated in the family day on site. |
Many friends stopped by to take part in the interaction, pick up gifts and learn about iTalkBB services. We appreciated their support and the time they spent sharing what matters to their families.
For families with an older relative, one practical question is how that person could call for help when alone at home. That is why iTalkBB introduced Peacetone at the booth: interested visitors could learn about an additional home alert option alongside the telephone they normally use.
How can iTalkBB Peacetone help an older adult request assistance at home?
| Direct Answer The service introduced at the booth was iTalkBB Peacetone, iTalkBB’s home emergency alert system. A user can call out for help, press a wireless button or pull a cord. Depending on the service setup, the system contacts designated family members and can help connect to 911 when needed. |
For example, if an older adult feels unwell at night, falls at home or cannot reach a mobile phone, an alert method prepared in advance provides another way to contact family and request help. At the event, the team spoke with visitors about planning such an option before an urgent situation arises.

Continuing to support different community activities
| Direct Answer At the event, iTalkBB spoke with older adults, relatives, volunteers and community partners about daily care and ways to request help at home. We hope older adults feel respected and included, while families who need support learn more about community services and the value of planning ahead. |
Thank you to Yee Hong Foundation for organizing the event, and to the volunteers and everyone who joined the walk or stopped by the iTalkBB booth. We look forward to joining other community activities and continuing to care for older adults, caregivers and families who may benefit from community services beyond this one day.
