CHEERS! for support toward Seniors’ Community Centre goal

CHEERS! from Barb Proctor, President of the Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Foundation, and Peter Landry, President of the Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association, for the incredible generosity of our community in which $938,000 has been raised toward the $1.2M goal to create a permanent County Seniors’ Centre at 74 King St., Picton!

This central, welcoming space gives older adults a place for recreation, learning, conversation, and connection.

Since its official launch in July, the Seniors’ Centre has offered programs five days a week, from fitness and tai chi to knitting, art classes, Wii bowling, and Friday coffee socials. Hundreds of seniors have taken part, staying active, connected, and engaged.

“We want all seniors to live well at home, stay active, and remain connected to their community,” says Gary Buffett, coordinator at Community Care. “Our Friday coffee chats have been a big success. What started with one person has quickly grown into a lively weekly gathering.”
