Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors

Membership - why you should join us...

Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors is a volunteer organisation that exists to provide opportunities for all senior citizens in our community to lead more meaningful, active, healthy and complete lives, by enabling them to participate in organized activities and make new friends.

About 2000 members of Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors enjoy a wide range of activities, games (cards, board, etc), sports (walking, badminton, etc), fitness classes (Tai Chi, Yoga, etc), trips, dances, special events and seniors' services. Most activities and services are offered at either Bowen Recreation Complex or Oliver Woods Community Centre, but some may be held elsewhere. Click here to download our latest monthly newsletter, or here for more information on the programs and activities, or here for maps and info on locations. You'll be astonished at all the possibilities.
You may register for programs at Bowen Complex in person Monday through Friday, 8:45 am to 4:30 pm, or over the telephone using a Visa or MasterCard. The office is closed on weekends and statutory holidays.

Membership cost is $41.44 (taxes included) per year - good value. One-month guest passes are available for out-of-town visitors 60 years and over. Who qualifies? Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors memberships are open to anyone in their 60th year or older (or if your spouse/partner is in their 60th year or older). Membership allows participation in the activities listed on our program schedule on a drop-in basis. Some seminars and instructional programs may require an additional fee and this will all be listed in the monthly newsletter.

New member teas and tours are held frequently. Please phone our office at (250) 755-7501 for more information. If you are unable to attend a specific date, one of our volunteer hostesses/hosts would be happy to give you a guided tour around the Complex and answer any questions you might have.

Volunteers make Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors possible! Just a few of the activities volunteers are a part of include Thursday teas, instructing group activities, teaching the youth knitting at Fairview Elementary School, running Blood Pressure clinics, entertaining at Thursday Special Events and much more. There are always new ways to use the enthusiasm, talents and skills of our members. Can we find a volunteer position for you? Talk to any member of the Board - see the Contacts page.

For more info about the organisation, here's the report from the 2011 AGM

Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors' annual operational costs are subsidized through the City of Nanaimo's Parks, Recreation and Culture Services. Membership fees contribute towards these costs. The Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors Board organizes fundraising initiatives to raise money for special projects.
