About this service
Carnegie offers health, recreation, and social programming for 4,000 seniors, two-thirds of our membership, in the Downtown Eastside. All it takes to participate is a $1 annual membership, and at Carnegie, you become a senior at age 40! Seniors can participate in a variety of initiatives and services including:
- Programs, see website for details
- Monthly meetings
- Review out-trips
- Annual dinners
Fundraising
Carnegie's seniors' program is unique in the community centre, as members raise funds to support the program through coffee sales. Half of the money raised goes into replenishing stock, while the remainder is spent on activities such as:
- Day trips
- Cable and newspapers
- Small stipends for hospitalized seniors
The seniors also contribute funds to other Carnegie events such as the childrens Christmas party, February 14 Womens Memorial March, and National Indigenous Peoples Day.
