SENIOR SCAPEBy Charles Sequeira The month of December was a very busy month for our members, with many activities, shows, trip to bring us in the Holiday spirit. Canada 150 volunteer award: Congratulations to our recipients , Susan and Jim Abram for being awarded the Newmarket-Aurora Member of Parliament ‘s Medal for Volunteer Service to commemorate Canada's 150th Anniversary of Confederation. Thank you for all you do. Sport Aurora volunteer award: Congratulations to our recipient Ruth Church member of the Aurora Seniors Association for being awarded the Sport Aurora volunteer service recognition award, for chairing and coordinating the walking club, encouraging our seniors to walk along the trails in Aurora. Walking is one of the least expensive and most broadly accessible forms of physical activity and it can easily be adopted by people of all ages. Fallsview Casino-Niagara Falls: In late November, our members boarded a special chartered bus for this day trip with a few hours at the casino, dinner at the Skylon and a tour of the Christmas lights show along the Niagara Falls trail, and in early December our members went on a one day trip to the Simcoe Christmas Panorama. Both trips were very enjoyable. Our thanks to our Seniors Adult Program Assistant-Andrew Bailey. John McDermott Christmas Show: Most enjoyable show, put us in the Christmas mood. John McDermott was at his best again. Our thanks to Magna International and Neighbourhood Network for providing our seniors with complimentary tickets. We offer congratulations to the following: The Evergreen Choir – for their outstanding concert on December 9. The McKenzie Room was packed and the choir received a standing ovation at the end.
