Seniors Week finishes in style
by Shaylyn Thornton
After a busy and exciting week
full of free activities it is safe to
say that Edson knows how to
appreciate its seniors.
The activities offered were
varied and offered something for
everyone. Tea at the library, soup
and sandwiches at the Pioneer
Cabin, lunch at the Recycle Depot,
the Legion Supper, and a movie at
the Nova Theatre were well
attended and very much enjoyed.
On June 6, three more events
were offered including a pancake
breakfast at the Fire Hall,
Continuing Care fun, and a tea at
the Parkland Lodge which also
offered crafts for sale. Edson's Fire Hall saw an amazing turnout for their pancake breakfast in honor of Seniors Week. photo Shaylyn
