Ballarat’s older adults will be honoured and celebrated in November as the Victorian Seniors Festival unveils a series of special activities for them.
With the theme of ‘Age is a number, not a use-by date’, Ballarat’s seniors will enjoy a wide range of on-line events, with the highlight to be Groovin’ Your Way – a special exercise activity to be held at Lake Wendouree on November 4.
Janet Dore, Chief Executive Officer of the City of Ballarat, said seniors citizens were to be congratulated for their leading role in the community.
“I agree that age is a number, not a use-by date, and I implore senior citizens to live life to the full and embrace new experiences every day.”
Joan Lupson is one of many senior Ballarat residents enjoying the Council services available to her.
“The staff in Staying Active have been a real help to us. I have a good group of friends and we have been on many trips and activities thanks to the Council.
“We have been to the movies and lunches and we also went on a boat trip along the Yarra River,” Joan said.
“I would encourage senior people to become involved. It is good for people’s health to get out. There is no use sitting at home and thinking there is nothing to do. There is a lot to do and the Council helps you do it.”
Due to COVID restrictions, people interested in Groovin’ Your Way need to book by calling 5320 5771.
