CHATS\u2019 Virtual \u201cWalk for Wellness\u201d program<\/strong>
\nOur Seniors Centre had two teams that participated in this program from February 1 \u2013 7. Each participant was asked to walk at least 50,000 steps during this week. Our seniors had two teams: the Aurora Seniors Walkers and Aurora Seniors Board Bunch.
\nAll funds raised will go to CHATS to support seniors\u2019 programs and services in our communities. We thank all our Supporters for their donations during this campaign.
\nFunds raised by the two ASA teams, $1, 500, go directly to CHATS\u2019 services for seniors.<\/p>\n

\nNominations are now open for the 2014 CRAs and Citizen of the Year awards (they are being combined into one program this year).

The 5th Annual Choral Extravaganza\u2026<\/strong>
\n\u2026was held at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts on January 26. Our Evergreen Choir was fortunate to share the stage with eight other choirs. This mass choir of approximately 250 singers was comprised of a school choir, a French choir, two male choirs, seniors, church, and community choirs, and one we had the privilege of meeting for the first time, the Sri Lanka-Toronto Choir.
\nEach Choir performed a selection of songs and then the finale was the mass choir performing three pieces. It was an excellent show from start to finish and was thoroughly enjoyed by both the participants and the audience. It takes a lot of hard work on everyone\u2019s part to pull off a successful concert such as this. Congratulations to our Evergreen Choir for their excellent performance, and for representing Aurora and the Seniors Association so well.<\/p>\n
