The voice of West End seniors.
Each month we have a board by the entrance of Barclay Manor that poses a question to our guests. For July, we asked what people’s favourite spots in Canada are – anywhere in Canada! We had a wide variety of answers, with some local locations like the West End and English Bay and some further out places like Niagara Falls and Osoyoos.
Take a look at the contributions, below.
In June, we asked “What do you do (or could you do) to make your community a better place?”
Take a look at the responses, below.
Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and celebration different traditions and holidays, so we wanted to know what those special occasions or traditions are!
This month, we wanted to talk about our inspirations and role models. We asked you: Who do you look up to and why?
Take a look at the responses, below.
We had a little bit of a misunderstanding for our engagement question this month – we should have said “outings” instead of “out-trips” to more accurately reflect what we were thinking about! At this time, we do not have the capacity and resources to plan out-trips that require bus rentals, staff guides, etc. What we are hoping to do is outings around Vancouver using public transit.
Keep an eye out for outings in the newsletters. And if you’re looking for out-trips, please take a look at the ones offered by Gordon Neighbourhood House, West End Community Centre, and other local organizations.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
