Engage
-
Education, recreation and social activities at the
Centre.
Seniors are given the opportunity to engage in a variety of classes, as
well as recreational and social activities. The most popular
activities are fitness and dance classes, crafts and hobbies and computer
classes.
Extend
-
Drop-in clubs, bridge, and walking clubs.
For seniors who want to extend their
involvement, the Centre is home to a number of special interest clubs that
meet on a regular basis. These clubs allow seniors to enjoy
activities as part of a close-knit group.
Enhance-
Social
interaction and making connections.
The real value of the Centre is
its ability to enhance the everyday lives of seniors by bringing them
together to socialize, share experiences and connect to a caring,
supportive community.
Energize-
Volunteerism in

The Westend Seniors Activity Centre is driven
by the energy of its members, who volunteer their time and services to the
operation of the Centre, as well as to the community.
Expand
-
Community
Outreach and Activities.
The Centre is committed to expanding its
services within the community by providing assistance and outreach
services to high risk seniors. This program also connects with
schools and agencies in the community by hosting special events and
collaborating on projects and initiatives.
