It is said that it takes an entire village to raise a child. So, what would that village look like without those willing to share not only their wit and wisdom, but also their valuable stories and lessons learned about the seasons of life?
James Bay New Horizons offers the opportunity for all generations to mix and mingle. The center which has just celebrated it's 35th anniversary this year, welcomes not only senior members of the community who wish to participate in a wide variety of health, fitness, recreation programs and activities, not to mention cultural and social events, but JBNH also extends a helping hand to other members of the James Bay community wishing to organize their own events, meetings, or special occasions at our facility.
For a modest fee of $35 a year, members are entitled to a variety of complimentary services including: wireless Internet access, mail collection/telephone and message service, daily newspaper, library and meeting place, as well as discounted fax and photocopying as well as hot beverage services. In addition we offer a number of specialty services such as free seniors reassurance calls and blood-pressure clinics, as well as access to a modestly-priced meal program and snacks and entertainment at special events. Those looking for a helping hand to navigate the complex health care as well as other support systems, as well as those interested in community networking, finding volunteer or income-earning opportunities will certainly find an open door here.
While 2010 is sure to promise lots of excitement for winter sports enthusiasts, especially the Olympic Winter Games - be sure to sign up for our big-screen shows to enjoy the ceremonies as well as special the competitions. And, stay tuned for our upcoming Community Conversations project - a great way for all those who live, work, play or stay in the community to contribute their ideas, stories and creative expressions about the "Past, Present & Future of James Bay", Victoria's oldest neighborhood.
