Research shows that isolation is a growing issue affecting all of us – with nearly one-in-seven Canadians stating they don’t have friends to see. Face to face social connection has numerous benefits to your mental and physical health and well-being. It reduces anxiety and depression, has a positive impact on your mental and physical health, increases your chances of living longer by 50% and is one of the single largest indicators of happiness in your life.

Face to face social connection is good for your mental and physical health.

So, power down and connect face-to-face for a period of time over the Generator Weekend, from Friday October 6 at 5pm thru to Sunday October 8th at midnight. Share your amazing stories about getting connected after your event on the Generator Project Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts, but keep it till after the event so you can stay in the moment with friends, family or your neighbours!
