Living also operates Sun - coast Enterprises, and the new Discoveries. Kathleen Buckley, co-ordinator at the MacKay Centre, told the meeting that an elevator in the centre is nearing comple- tion: making access to the building easier. Buckley said the centre has 381 members who pay a yearly fee of $3 and who recieve 10 installments of the centre's newsletter The MacKay Messenger, each year. The MacKay Centre provides, for a small fee, a Card of Life. The card con- tains a photo of the subject as well as rele- vant information on the individual's health. One card is placed on the subject's fridge and the other in their car. The centre provides; keep fit courses, dances, variety concerts, and other ac- tivities for seniors. Marg Swan spoke about The Golden Gate Seniors, a 60 member club within the MacKay Centre. The Golden Gate Seniors promote contact with, and unity among, seniors. They hold dinners, contribute to charities, and work with other groups to in- crease the visibility of seniors in society. Bev Brown of Town and Country Homemakers assured the audience the Meals on Wheels program will continue. ^>f.>•:: ;;::.%:.r Lj' i:0000W i:. ::i ;. .••i •: i :.;.iii..

Some fear had been expressed at the meeting that the program was about to be cancelled, but Brown said that though new volunteers are needed, Meals on Wheels will go on. She also expressed the hope that the program could be expanded into the townships. Brown said Town and Country provides homemaking for seniors by linking with other services such as the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Veterans Affairs. Brown said she would like to see an expan- sion of the Telephone Reassurance service which insures that seniors receive a daily call. Brown also spoke about the Friendly Visiting Program which provides human contact and companionship for seniors. Brown said she would like to see an ad hoc committee made up of members who would develop a service strategy. Recreation Director Jane Netzke said a plan is in the works to make all recrea- tional facilities accessible to seniors and the disabled. She said the recreation department provides a free taxi service to seniors wanting to attend meetings at the MacKay Centre. The department also operates swimming, skating, and cooking classes as well as art classes. The depart- ment, in liason with other seniors clubs co- ordinates the local senior games held every two years. Home Care's Linda Reid said she would like to see more resource people putting seniors in contact with the services they need. She said Home Care is funded solely by the provincial government. The Acute and Chronic Care program is for those who need intensive health care: a medical referral is neccessary. The Integrated Homemaking Program is designed for frail elderly seniors and handicapped adults. There is assistance in meal preparation, laundry, banking, etc. The long-term goal is to allow seniors to re- main in their own home. Representives from the Lions, Rotary, and Foresters, and from Heart to Heart, Maple Grove Lodge, church, library, and other groups alsomade presentations at the meeting.
