Seniors expo to be held in Glace Bay

-

A variety of informatio­n will be made available during a seniors expo later this month.

The expo will be held on Thursday, Nov. 16 from 1-3:30 p.m. at the Glace Bay Seniors and Pensioners Club, which is fully accessible. Admission is free.

“Last time we had it was in 2015 and we had a really good turnout with upwards of 250 people,” said Mariah MacKay, volunteer and project co-ordinator for the Citizens Service League at Town House.

“We knew we reached a lot of people and it was a successful event so we wanted to hold another one.”

There will be more than 15 exhibits, presentati­ons, musical entertainm­ent and light refreshmen­ts.

MacKay said the expo targets seniors and their caregivers and the objective is to spread informatio­n.

“It will feature presentati­ons and resources on healthy aging. Some of exhibits will be related to fitness, housing, recreation, finance management and longterm care,” she said.

“There will be health screenings and pharmacist­s from Shoppers Drug Mart giving flu shots.”

MacKay said anyone wishing to participat­e as an exhibitor can contact her at 902-849-1619.
