Free activities for seniors in Stratford
Over the next three weeks, Stratford Positive Ageing Group is making it easier for senior community members to meet up, try something new and enjoy what Stratford has to offer.
Chairperson, Gloria Webby says, “In light of the current COVID-19 environment, we wanted to celebrate and promote a range of activities for our senior citizens to experience locally.”
“We’ve worked with the TSB Pool Complex, TET Kings Theatre and Stratford Croquet Club to provide some activities at no cost to those over 65 years old,” she says.
“We hope people take up the offer if they’re able to, and get out into the community to enjoy themselves,” says Mrs Webby.
