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?
