Prince Edward Island, Canada
Current Programs
The PEI Senior Citizens' Federation administers and delivers programs at locations across the Island. Most of our programs are hosted by member clubs, or community or civic organizations. Our programs are often open to all seniors.
Our programs are typically delivered in the fall, winter, and early spring months when people tend to socially isolate. Numerous studies have shown that older adults who stay socially active and maintain good interpersonal relationships are healthier and happier. Thus, we try to offer a wide variety of programs that appeal to different types of people, and attract both men and women. Whenever possible, our programs are available at little or no cost, enabling us to reach seniors of all income levels. Our programs are offered in both rural and urban areas.
Our programs tend to teach new skills, promote new ideas, and encourage fun. Several of our programs are ongoing, while others are offered for a limited time. The determining factor as to the length and scope of a program is availability of funding.
Current programs include: the 55 Alive Driving Refresher Course, PEI Friendly Visitor Program, Lifetime Membership Award Program, the Member of the Year Program, and the Seeds of Connection Program.
