SALC

Seniors Active Living Centre programs promote wellness, social interaction, and education to help seniors remain active, independent, and engaged. These programs are designed to improve quality of life by offering social, cultural, educational, and recreational programs that promote health. 
‌The program model of care delivery supports socially isolated seniors who would benefit from the opportunities that would improve their access by utilizing hybrid, in-person, phone, or web-based and mobile outreach in rural and remote communities. 
‌SALC programs tackle social isolation, which, left unaddressed, can affect the health and well-being of seniors and lead to depression and increased vulnerability. 
‌The promotion and support of volunteer participation is linked to improved quality of life, stronger social networks, increased mental health, and higher physical activity levels.
‌
‌SALC participants have opportunities for 
‌- Physical activities and exercise gatherings with other seniors 
‌- Service navigation and support with community referrals and resources education and learning opportunities 
‌- Experience with the arts
‌- Technology tutorials 
‌- Cooking with Friends 
‌- Promoting nutrition 
‌- Bus trips and events 
‌- Access to transportation opportunities
