The forum purpose was to gather feedback on Council Priorities and Processes to guide our elected officials in their decision making. It was informative, thoughtful and constructive.

Under the category of "all you can do is laugh." One of our lovely members had a transportation issue this week, with an expected pick up being 2 hours late. The member and staff tried to make light of it, with the joke that if it was any longer they would have to sleep at the Centre.
Staff always go above and beyond.....the next day when the member came in staff had created a bedroom just for her in a hallway using the first aid cot, and even decorating it with a painting on the wall, special pillow and reading lamp.
We all got a big kick out it, because really, sometimes all you can do is laugh.

There is no question there is a lot going on in the world this days, just trying to navigating post pandemic is enough for most of us.

The Saanich Centre is located at 286 Hampton Road, in the area of Tillicum Mall.
I take it from the wording above that this week is available to new members, as opposed to persons contemplating a membership?
Could you tell me what "essentrics" is ?
The Victoria Centre is located at 1911 Quadra Street, near the Police Station.

We always have a community puzzle on the go, with folks working on it before or after class or when they are hanging around, but this one was a doozy. After many weeks the never ending puzzle is complete! Way to go!

Thank you to Volunteers Peggy and Monika for leading the outing to James Bay Inn for lunch and then to Emily Carr House. It was a lovely afternoon Thursday for this fine looking group.

This looks wonderful.
Silver Threads was pleased to welcome Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors Harwinder Sandhu and MLA for Victoria-Beacon Hill, Grace Lore to the Victoria Centre today. They met some of our painters and had a good meeting with Board Vice President Twyla Johnson and Executive Director Tracy Ryan. Thank you for the visit and update, it is appreciated!
