Some Centre members are frustrated that exercise, swimming, line dancing and aerobics classes, offered by the Recreation and Parks de- partment and the Centre, have been cancelled in the past year because of a lack interest while other pro- ams, like the weekly sen- iors' skate, are underutilized. "As far as I'm concerned they (seniors) are getting the message, they're just not tak- ing advantage of it," said seniors' co-ordinator Adriana Lawless in an inter- view on Monday. The Town and Centre publicize special and regular programs and events through newsletters to Centre mem- ber, flyers and press releases and a regular newspaper col- umn to non-members. Law- less said she would also make ra MEDICAL PHARMACY (The little phaemacy THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1999 more use of the cable system for program promotion. There are approximately 1,200 Acton residents who are over 55 years of age. The Seniors' Centre has approxi- mately 200 members who take part in some 15 to 20 poerans the most popular Bingo and the Centre luncheons. Arlene Bruce, who has taught a seniors' exercise class for four years, is con- cerned that the line dancing program that began today (Thursday) almost had to be cancelled. Bruce is con- vinced that if the health ben- efits and fun of the fitness programs were more people would register for the classes and more classes could be P p "I think the lack of peo- ple is due to apathy," Bruce said when asked why there was on-going trouble filling the classes and programs. "Maybe people are not being health-wise enough. I think they maybe don't just realize what's available," Bruce said. The total operatin g budget for the Seniors' Centre last year was $63,000. Thirty thousand dollars of that came from an annual $30,000 provincial grant and the seniors were required to raise 25 per cent of the bal- ance -- $8,250 -- and the rest was in the Town's Recreation and Parks budget. @ LEGION News BRANCH No. 197 BY MIKE MANUEL The Annual Peewee , Hockey Tournament on Sun- day, Feb. 7, starting at 8 a.m. and going on until 11 a.m. The cost of this breakfast is only $3 per person and is available to everyone.
