The Pender Harbour Seniors Initiative is a program supported by the Pender Harbour Health Center and funded by the VCH SMART Fund with the purpose of improving the quality of life of seniors from Middle Point to Egmont, many who are living in isolation by creating programs and resources, which they can easily and comfortably access.
With guidance from an Advisory Committee, Coordinator, Marlene Cymbalist has organized numerous activities which are enthusiastically received by participants.
They’ve enjoyed yoga, tai chi, carpet bowling, lunch club outings, a walking group, bus trips, boat tours and so much more. Pender Harbour Seniors Initiative also supports Harbourside Friendships, a social group which meets on Thursdays at the Pender Harbour Community Hall for diverse activities, guest speakers, and music, as well as lunch. Harbourside Friendships is the Pender Harbour Health Centre’s longest running program thanks to the continued financial support of the Pender Harbour Health Centre Auxiliary.
Vision
A community in which seniors support each other and feel supported by others, have easy access to transportation, and can participate in a variety of ongoing programs and services which allow them to live in their own homes or other accommodations of their choice without feeling isolated.
Mission
