SSAC STORIES
40 Years of Purpose and Perseverance
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre (SSAC), we find ourselves at a natural vantage point.
Not An April Fool’s Joke
Our 21-passenger bus drove off into the sunset with trumpets blaring!
A Month To Remember
March was a lively and memorable month filled with music, movement, and community spirit.
A History of Feeding Our Spirit
There is a simple reason the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre exists and that is “community.”
A Fresh Season of Connection and Gratitude
As we march towards spring, it is the perfect time to reconnect with friends and try something new.
British Invasion Shindig!
The Saturday night dance with the Mitch Lazer Quartet was sold out and everyone had a cracking good time and a top notch evening.
SSAC Endowment Fund
In order to achieve sustainable financial stability, we have established a SSAC Endowment Fund that will generate revenue from interest accrued each year. This fund is to be administered by the Sunshine Coast Foundation.
Affordable Lunch Program
The aim of the Affordable Lunch donation program is to avoid increases in the price of our entrées, and keep it fixed currently at either $10 or $12. Every member deserves a great affordable meal in the wonderful environment of the Centre.
General Revenue Donations
Gifts to general revenue are particularly vital to enable us to deal with large, unexpected costs. You can donate to us at the front desk by cash, cheque, credit or debit card. You can also download and print the form and mail it to the Centre with your cheque.
