CARE TO slap on a pair of

the morning with the cycling club

learning the Japanese art of fish
printing?

Vancouver Seniors’ Activity Cen-
tre. And the word ‘‘activity” in
that title is not incidental.

The West Vancouver Seniors’
Activity Centre’s extensive offer-
ings put to shame the old run-of-
the-mill bingo and lawn bowling
offerings of the past.

As upbeat as the programs go-
ing on inside, the building’s exte-
tior looks more like an art gallery
than a seniors’ centre. Construc-
tion of the 10-year-old building
was funded with a joint federal/
provincial/municipal grant, and
even won the architect an award
of excellence for design.

Step inside and the atmosphere
is that of a club — not a feeling
of exclusiveness but of calm com-
fortableness. A hostess, one of the
centre’s 450 volunteers, greets you
and provides orientation if you
need it.

On a regular day you might see
in progress an intermediate French
class instructed by one of the
many volunteer member instruc-
tors.

Down the hall, a group of
women warm up their vocal
chords for an informal! sing-along.
At the coffee bar, also staffed by
a volunteer, several people line up
to buy hot beverages to sip in the
members’ lounge.

The lounge is often occupied by
people ensconced in exotic cane
chairs, some engaged in conversa-
tion, others quietly reading a
newspaper.

Nearby, amidst the profuse
greenery of the garden room, vol-
unteer Keith Muir grooms the
plants.

The skylight-lit space is full of

offers range of activities

ceiling to floor shelves crammed
with palms, lilies, jade plants and
many others, most of them do-
nated, some for sale and others
simply there to be seen.
