Dartmouth Seniors Service Centre 41st Anniversary - Member Statement
MS. CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : I rise today during Seniors Week to recognize and congratulate the work of my neighbour, the Dartmouth Seniors Service Centre on their 41st Anniversary. In particular, and in a time when many seniors live in isolation and without doctors, as my colleague just pointed out, I'd like to recognize five long-time supporters of the centre that will be celebrated this year: Gloria McCluskey, Harry Chapman, Marilyn Keating, Terry Cooper, and Ellen Latter.
Hot meals and meal delivery, physical fitness and art programs, transportation to medical appointments and other errands, computer access, and a plethora of social events are a few examples of what the Dartmouth Seniors Centre has been providing to the Dartmouth community and beyond for decades.
As you know, Madam Speaker, isolation is one of the most insidious threats to the well-being of our seniors. Please join me in congratulating the Dartmouth Seniors Service Centre for 41 years of breaking the isolation and serving seniors throughout our community.
