This June, Richmond’s seniors are invited to try one or all of 14 free or low-cost activities scheduled for Seniors Week.
From Monday, June 4 to Saturday, June 9, seniors can try Qi Gong, an ancient form of Chinese medicine, take an aquasize class, learn to square dance and more. All activities were designed around the theme “explore and connect,” encouraging seniors engage with fellow Richmondites while trying activities that promote healthy living.
The week will kick off with a dance and social on June 4 at 1:30 p.m. in the West Richmond Community Centre. The afternoon will feature live music by Five for You, light refreshments and, of course, dancing.
“As an age-friendly city, Richmond recognizes social connections to be extremely important to senior’s well-being,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a press release. “Events such as Seniors Week contribute to the vitality and overall quality of life of Richmond’s seniors.
All 14 events can be found in a detailed list at www.richmond.ca/seniorsweek or in a brochure available at all Richmond community centres. Some events require registration through www.richmond.ca/register or by calling 604.276.4300.
