With that comes thoughts of getting out to garden, and for me golfing. Hang in there, everyone. Our solitary confinement will come to an end. In the meantime, exer- cise classes that would be of- fered in the centre are being offered as virtual classes. Classes, dates and times are found in the February/ March Hillsview Newslet- ter. These classes sure can help to drive away the bore- dom of being cooped up. If you would like to partici- pate, call Sherry at 905-877- 6444 to get signed up. The drive-thru lunches have proven to be very pop- ular, and sell out very quickly. These will continue until the end of March. In order to serve more members, a couple of new rules have been put in place. You are now allowed to book only two meals for the week and you can no longer book for friends. All bookings take place on Friday by phone, beginning at 9 a.m. I understand the partici- pating restaurants are quite pleased with our support. If you have not paid your 2021 membership, you will find that your swipe card has been discontinued and will need to be reactivated when your membership is caught up. There are mem- bership forms and a drop box for your fees on a table between the entrance doors. I had a query from a gen- tleman interested in joining our centre, wanting to know the age for joining. Accord- ing to our constitution, we consider you a senior if you are 55+. Actually, we would be glad to receive you if you are younger. I always say that if we at the centre have some- thing going on and you are interested, we would be happy you have you join -- that is, if you are 18+. I came across some inter- esting facts about the senior population in Canada. Did you know that 2015 marked the first time Canadians aged 65 and older started to outnumber children under the age of 15? Older Canadi- ans now represent Canada's fastest growing demograph- ic.
