Are you a senior interested in becoming a Friendly Visitor Volunteer?

The mission of the PEI Friendly Visitor Program is to provide friendship and companionship to Island seniors who may be
in danger of becoming socially isolated and to enrich their lives through regular social visits from dedicated volunteers.  

For information about volunteering for this program, contact our office at (902) 368-9008.

PEI Senior Citizens' Federation Member Meetings

The Federation holds two membership meetings each year.  Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held in May at a
Charlottetown location.  Our general meeting is held in November at a location outside Queens County.  Both the AGM
and General Meeting are open to all seniors - members and non-members.  These meetings are upbeat events and
offer a balance of entertainment, information and great food.  They are also a good opportunity for Island seniors to
network with other seniors and clubs.  

The 2012 Annual General Meeting is scheduled for
May 16, 2012 in Charlottetown.

The 2012 General Meeting is scheduled for
November 14, 2012.  The location is yet to be selected by the Board of
Directors.
