The Elders
programs continue to provide a much needed service to our Aboriginal
elders. We offer monthly suppers to the elders with transportation to and from
the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre for these events. The suppers provide more
than something to eat; this is a great opportunity for socialization with their
peers.
The Elders Group attends the majority of the events and activities hosted
by the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre as well as some of the community events.
The gatherings are an excellent opportunity for the elders to address concerns,
identify needs, acquire information on issues that pertain to them, etc.
Translation supports are in place as well and this proves valuable when dealing
with various issues and concerns. The Elders enjoy an Annual Christmas Party
where there is dinner, gifts, entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus.
