Barrie CARP - Chapter 36
We are trying something new this month of March and in April. We have been asked over the years why we could not have our Member Meetings in the afternoon and it was because so many of the Board were still working. However, we are going to test it out for the next two meetings, which will be on a Wednesday as we have Darts at the Legion on Tuesday afternoons. So on Wednesday March 20th and on Wednesday April 17th our Member Meetings will be at 2pm (doors open at 1:30pm) at Traditions, 142 John St. as usual.
We hope you will join us and our Presenter this month will be Heather Kenehan from the City of Barrie 55+ Centres.
Our Special Guest Speaker on Wednesday March 20 at 2 pm is Heather Kenehan. “I have had the privilege of serving the Barrie citizens in my role as Recreation Programmer for the City of Barrie for over 20 years. In this role I have worked with many volunteers and members of the 55+ Centres in delivery quality recreation and social programs to the older adult public. I also served as Community Programmer for 9 years offering day camps, youth centre programs, preschool and dance programs throughout the City of Barrie and overseeing with a team of up to 40 youth leaders in delivering those programs.
In 2021 I returned to the 55+ Centres where I began my recreation career and have seen the excitement of the members are they returned to programs after COVID shutdown. I am leading several teams as we take on the challenge of rebuilding our centres into the vibrant communities they are.
In my spare time I enjoy walking along Barrie’s beautiful waterfront trails and parks. I enjoy a good Netflix movie and chocolate!”
