| The
Adult Activity Centre (Elders' Centre) is fast approaching seven
years since its conception. The Adult Activity Centre aims to increase
wellness in the community by improving social, mental and physical
health. This is done by getting the elders together, stimulating their interests by participating
in cultural activities, getting the elders mobile and keeping them
healthy and active both physically and mentally.
To
bring the youth and elders together we have visits from the daycare
on a regular basis. We also invite youth to come along on fishing
trips and have the children from the school come once a week for
lunch, games, Lahal, Christmas concert, craftmaking, and
storytelling. They also participate in harvesting
vegetables from our garden. Elders also accompany the recreation
department on beach days, which includes activities for upwards
of 50 children. |
