Hi there!

Senior Centre Without Walls through A&O: Support Services for Older Adults offers free educational and recreational programs over the phone. The program reaches out to socially isolated older adults 55+ living in Manitoba. Individuals and groups are welcome. There is no cost to register. We will call in all registered participants 10 minutes before programming begins. Participants will also be given a toll-free number to access programs on their own if needed (no pins or access codes required).

Please view our current Program Guide in the attachment provided. The guide will be live on our website soon, along with a fillable worksheet to register right away.

In our guide you will find the following topics plus a whole lot more!

These are just a few of the many ideas which could be explored. A good place to start would be with a discussion with your local museum and see if there is one which is a better fit than others. Woodlands Museum on Highway #6 received grant money to develop school activities for students who visit the museum and to build a covered outdoor space for students to do activities during their tour. There is grant funding available for museums and working collaboratively with your museum is the best way to promote the role your members have played in the history of your local area. Whatever you do, enjoy your participation and have some fun!
