It's BC Seniors Week, and our dedicated Seniors Services team has been busy planning a week full of informative and celebratory activities for our local seniors, kicking off today with a Brain Health Workshop in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Society. Tomorrow morning, our TAPS program is hosting our seniors at Bear Creek Park for some yoga, games and refreshments. They are a blast to hang out with! Wednesday, we give some care back to the caregivers in our community, who we serve through our Newcomer Family and Friend Caregiver Support Program. Thursday, we’re at DIVERSEcity Surrey Community Campus for a morning filled with fun activities, entertainment and meaningful connections. And, Friday, we’re on the DIVERSEcity rooftop for Seniors Open House Drop-in with refreshments.

As Citizenship Week continues, we had the pleasure of hearing why Sara Keshmiri, an immigrant from Iran and DIVERSEcity staff member, loves Canada: “For me, being Canadian means being safe and free ... and accepting all cultures,” she shares. And that’s what makes Canada — Canada. A place where people from all walks of life can share stories and experiences, weaving together the colourful tapestry of our community. The beauty of Canada can be found in its rivers and mountains, in its trees and nature — but it’s the people who make Canada home.
