The Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre is the heart and soul of our coastal life. Our over 1400 valued members come from all over the Lower Sunshine Coast.
Emily and her talented volunteers in the kitchen deliver over 35,000 meals annually. They are fresh nutritious entrees served on site, frozen entrees for pick up, hearty soups, sandwiches and desserts.These wholesome affordable meals are a mainstay for so many seniors and families at a difficult time when prices are on the rise. In addition, the Seniors Centre has been there for all special events including Easter, Ukrainian and Christmas community dinners.
On its website, ParticipAction Canada states that seniors should focus on important key areas as they age: Increase Mobility, Cognitive Wellness, Connectivity and Community.
In all these quality of life issues, our SSAC hits its targets and beyond. Meaningful friendships, making new ones, and participating in healthy activities can add years to our lives. Our members attend hundreds of activity classes including: Pickleball, Yoga, Latin and Line Dancing, Badminton, Fitness, Tai Chi, Pilates and Carpet Bowling. There are also many other special interest programs such as Bridge, Quilting, Painting, Bingo and MahJong.
Our Memory Café brings a valued contribution of support and socializing opportunities for members with Dementia and for their families.
The monthly Friendship Tea also provides a welcome social connection and outreach to seniors in our broader community.
The Managers and Board members at our Centre spend our dollars wisely. All money made through the sale of meals and for facility rentals for elections and community events goes back into the SSAC for the good of its members.
The nutritious food, the healthy activities and personal contact with like minded friends are so important to our seniors during their retirement years. Please help to keep our Seniors Centre going strong. Donations can be made by cash, cheque, debit or credit card. Donations over $25.00 are eligible for a tax receipt.
