How many could line dance at 100 years of age?  We have one at Bonsor Recreation Centre in Burnaby, BC.!  An enjoyable line dance event happened on August 3, 2022: a celebration of JOYCE CHONG’s centennial milestone at the Bonsor Recreation Centre banquet hall.

A few Board members of Bonsor 55+ Society, namely, Mary Horton, Pat Couch, Freda Jenkins and Shirley Noble were present and expressed their well wishes to Joyce on behalf of the Board.  The Hall was decorated with colourful balloons and there was a lot of food for everyone including Joyce’s favourite delicious mango birthday cake.  Over 65 people attended the party including a surprise visit from Joyce’s nephew and family from Calgary, to celebrate with Joyce.  Everyone was line dancing, socializing and enjoying the event, singing Happy Birthday to Joyce.  She is an inspiration to all of us, a fantastic, lovable and amazing lady.  Maggie Bretton, our line dance instructor gave a lovely speech on behalf of the line dance group and led us through many fun dances.

A big thank you to the staff at Bonsor 55+ Centre, especially Brett Boland, and to the volunteer team led by Lily Chew and Daisy Chan.  Thank you, of course, to Joyce Chong for hosting the party.
