Anyone over 55 years of age can join the Society for a nominal $10 annual fee and receive newsletters and invitations to outings and functions throughout the year. The objectives of the Society, in part, are to promote the interests of seniors as well as to coordinate the services available to seniors in the community. The Society manages and maintains a Seniors’ Lounge in the Activity Centre where our monthly meetings take place on the second Monday of each month.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, April 8, at 1:30 p.m. at the Seniors’ Lounge at the Jasper Activity Centre.
All seniors are welcome to attend and see what we are about. You can then decide if membership will be a benefit to you. If you have any ideas or wish to voice any concerns, please feel free to email to: [email protected].
Let us know how we can make everyday living better for all seniors in Jasper!
