Seniors Week jam packed with activities

Seats are quickly being snapped up for the popular Mayor’s Mystery Bus Tour.

Seniors in our community will be celebrated during Seniors Week with a jam packed program of events!

Kicking off on Saturday 5 November, a bumper line up of activities has everything from music, sport, art, different workshops and have a go days.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the week-long festivities was a great way to acknowledge the hard work and contribution of local seniors.

“We have some amazing seniors in our community that make a very big and important contribution in all different facets of our community,” he said.

“Seniors week is a great way to recognise all that hard work and we’re extremely proud that we can offer such an amazing line up of activities and something that will appeal to all seniors.”

Mayor Van Styn will officially open Seniors Week on Sunday 6 November from 2pm onward with the Neil Diamond Tribute concert at the Queens Park Theatre.

There will be a prelude event on Saturday 5 November with the screening of Young @ Heart at 6pm by the Friends of Queens Park Theatre.

During the week there will be a huge line up of activities from the popular Mayor’s Mystery Bus tour, quiz afternoon, bingo session, workshops, have-a-go sessions and much more.

“These celebrations would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the Seniors Week Committee, as well as the businesses who have made generous donations,” Mayor Van Styn said.

Along with prize contributions, select businesses are also offering discounts to those with valid pensioners or seniors cards.
