Example of too little spending on Seniors

I am working with a group of seniors called the "expansion Committee", who are worried about the current overcrowding in the Cameron Seniors Centre. I have studied the historical reason for this current lack of sufficient space in the building. This study has led me to believe that the local authority responsible for this Seniors Centre and three other centres has not given the financial funding that this centre should have received from the very beginning.

This Seniors Centre was not the product of planning by the city planners. It came about by the work of some senior women, who were convinced that Cameron needed a Seniors Centre. Their hard work resulted, as their numbers grew, in recognition by Victoria of their efforts, by approving

a constitution and Charter. At first, they operated in a room that the Recreation Centre did not need, and today they occupy the entire upper floor of this centre.

The seniors have kept on growing in number, and can now count about 1000 members. In fact the

modifications to the Rec centre have been made by the seniors funding 1/3 of the cost of these

improvements. Now they need more than a few modifications to the building, if their activities are not to stagnate. They are presenting a petition to the City of Burnaby to expand the building.

If you , my blog readers, can use whatever influence you have to help these seniors get what

they want from from the Burnaby City Council, I ask you to do so.
