The Seniors Recreational Programs operate within the framework of engagement and empowerment so that seniors can function as active members of their communities.

The programs provide seniors with an opportunity to socialize with one another in a safe and  secure environment while receiving a hot, freshly made meal. Some of the recreational activities seniors participate in include playing games, dancing, attending health and wellness workshops, celebrating holidays and birthdays as well as ethno-cultural events.  Additionally, seniors receive information about their rights and the resources available for their needs. Our seniors wish to be contributing citizens. To this effect, they are mentored to take on volunteer and leadership roles within their communities.

Mindful of the ethno-cultural diversity of the population in the community, the programs serve Albanian, African and Caribbean, Vietnamese and Chinese, Latin American as well as other ethno-cultural groups.

Learn to Write Your Autobiography

A basic step by step guide for recanting the story closest to your heart- yours!

An autobiography can be a brilliant way for the author to share valuable life lessons with the younger generations, and a way to reevaluate their own lives. It can also provide the author a chance to see how strong they were during the harder times, and how they did make it through in spite of all obstacles.
