The Town of Perth is inviting local seniors to help shape a new series of neighbourhood-based social gatherings especially designed for older adults. Perth’s Cathy McNally tells us how this initiative started.
These upcoming Seniors Neighbourhood Social Gatherings will bring neighbours together to build friendships, share resources, and provide valuable input on the needs and interests of seniors in our community.
The first steps are already prepared according to Cathy
Volunteers will have the opportunity to share ideas for fun and engaging activities, help organize events and spread the word, provide insight on what seniors in the community need most, and offer input on accessible and welcoming event locations. By joining the planning team, volunteers will play a key role in creating memorable, meaningful, and community-driven experiences for seniors throughout Perth.
Seniors who would like to participate are encouraged to contact the Town’s Ashley Hannigan, by December 17 either by email to ahannigan@perth.ca or by calling 613-267-3311 ext 0. The events are expected to launch in the New Year.
