- Saturday dances and more events and regular activities, including pot-luck and community dinners as permitted, given COVID restrictions. As well, drop-ins are welcome to come in to read, do jigsaw puzzles, play darts and play card games.
We value our community and contribute by hosting various courses and clinics, providing Scholarships to Okanagan Senior Secondary School graduates and providing appropriate charitable donations as our funds allow.
Oliver Senior Centre Society is self-managed through the generosity of our many devoted volunteers and a small Board which oversees the stewardship of this Society. Volunteers are always welcome. Please see Margaret or Moira for information about current volunteer needs.
The greater our active membership, the more we can do for all seniors in our area. We encourage you to join – it’s a bargain at only $ 20 per year (2021-22 rate)!
We welcome new members and truly cherish alll who become part of this community by contributing some of their energy to help run the Centre. Join us and find your place to relax, refresh, meet new people and give back to your community!
