October first marks National Seniors Day and Pembroke 50+ Active Living Centre is doing their best to celebrate the day in the community. Program and Operations Administrator Arlene Ling tells myFM what the centre will be doing to celebrate.
The Centre exists to provide adults 50 years and over a safe, inclusive and respectful environment, delivering quality programming and education to promote active living for lifelong health and wellness for their membership, their annual membership fee is $25.00.
National Seniors Day is an opportunity to recognize the important role seniors play in our society. It’s also a great way to connect with the community, network with contacts and raise awareness of issues that matter to seniors within the community. Ling explains what the centre has to offer for the community.
Ling expressed the importance of allowing someone to continue to learn and grow as you age, as there is no age limit to education. One new program the centre is offering was funded through the Government Community Seniors Grant.
