This
weekend kicks of Active Living Week for Seniors, with the government
encouraging our seniors to remain active through volunteering, social
acitivites, and physical activity.
According
to Seniors Resource Center President Sherman Palmer, it's not always
easy for people to remain active throughout their golden years due to
physical conditions, lack of money, and other factors.
Palmer
says while there are lots of activities available for seniors, it would
be easier for seniors to stay active if there were better city transit,
because with 85% of NB seniors living independently many rely on it to
get around.
