Article — Seniors putting on a show for their country
Juan de Fuca 55 plus to host a Canada 150 production this week
Jessica Fedigan, News Gazette staff
The Juan de Fuca 55 plus activity centre is putting on a show to celebrate a Canadian milestone.
Board member Evelyn Schumacher said the idea of a Canada 150 show began at a board meeting.
"We talked about it at a board meeting ... that we should actually do something to celebrate Canada's birthday," Schumacher said. "What could we do? We don't have a lot of money. I did look into getting a grant but we didn't qualify."
From there, the group decided to figure what they could do locally. The grant they applied for required a community wide event with a large number of attendees.
Then they took the idea of a Canada 150 show to the members of the activity centre and then to their entertainment committee.
Shirley Turcotte decided to take on the role of co-ordinator for the show.
"It was open to anyone who would volunteer to work because the idea was to get our members excited about Canada and its birthday," Turcotte said. "Anybody who showed up was in. I think for the most part, we've had a lot of fun together."
There are approximately 50 people at the centre involved in the show, which includes many important dates in Canada history. Some are participating in the performance while others are working behind the scenes with set props, and in other roles. The show is the first multimedia production put on at the centre.
The seniors' centre has more than 2,000 members. All programs at the centre are also volunteer run.
The Canadian celebration takes place on Saturday. Both shows sold out. The group also has plans to put on a Christmas production.
