Bonsor 55+ Choir Seeks New Conductor
Actually we are very happy with the one we have, but she joined us as a singer, and after 18 months of conducting, she wants to go back to singing with the altos.
Candidates for the post please call the Bonsor 55+ Centre at 604-297-4580.
Location and Repertoire
We meet at Bonsor Recreation Centre on Friday afternoons from 1 till 3pm (September through June).
We sing a wide range of music - classical, modern, pop, Beatles, folk, etc. We've been singing 4-part harmony since the nineties, but may have to switch to 2 parts for the Spring session, being short of altos, tenors and basses.
Bonsor 55+ New Bus is Here!
We are very excited that our new bus has been delivered, and it is already very busy and on the road, including several long day trips to Vancouver Island. We have the only bus for seniors in Burnaby, and will continue to make it available to the other Burnaby Centers for their trips, as well as some other regulars like Century House (New West), Society Activity groups, snooker, mahjong, and increasingly, other seniors groups in the community.
The logo and name of Mulberry Parc will soon be displayed on our new bus, as they have so generously in the past stepped up with donations for our programs and are contributing to the cost of keeping the bus on the road.
Here's a chance to say thank you to our President, drivers, hostesses and scheduler for all the time and effort they spend volunteering in the research, purchasing, maintenance and scheduling for our seniors. Trips are posted at the senior's counter, so why not come and join us for a day trip?

Mulberry Parc Cheque Presentation
On March 20, 2024, Bonsor 55+ Society was delighted to receive a cheque worth $12,000 from our wonderful partners, Mulberry Parc toward our purchase of a new bus.
