Seniors Activities & Monthly Schedule

 

Guest speaker – themes may include Elder Abuse, pharmacist speaker, Nutrition, thought-provoking games and /or seasonal crafts, bingo, CLIA (Community Legal Information Association – topics on wills, power of attorney POA, health directives, etc.)

Programs and Activities The Senior Surfers’ have applied for and received funding in the past from various sources for programs such as Basket Weaving, Art Workshop, Leathercraft, Genealogy, and learning to play the ukulele – to mention a few. 

We also hosted a very successful program in that we invited newcomers to Canada to tell us about their home countries and traditions.  This was followed by the members creating poster boards on each of the six countries that we use for social programs or sharing with other service organizations, such as local Women’s Institute groups.

The group has also hosted programs requested by members of the senior groups – for example (self-funded) art workshop or basket weaving workshop
