Springbank Heritage Club is a not-for- profit organization created for the benefit and enjoyment of senior citizens age 50+ in Springbank and surrounding communities. We are located at 244168 Range Road 33.
On April 4th, the Heritage Club singers took their talent to the Robinson Outreach at River Ranch (ROARR), a nonprofit organization with a mission to relieve conditions association with youth at risk and seniors. ROARR provides equine- assisted learning and related activities for the benefit of the participants. In addition to the equine activities, the program provides a warm meal every Tuesday and Thursday for seniors. It was at this lunch that our singers performed to the delight of those in attendance.
Everyone is welcome to join our singing group at the Heritage Club on Tuesdays from 10:00 to noon. No experience needed!
Our first book club meeting of the “Page Turners” was held on April 11th. We had a lively discussion around Whit Fraser’s novel “The Cold Edge of Heaven” learning something about Canada’s north in the 1920’s when the issue of sovereignty was first addressed. Did you know that AY Jackson and Frederick Banting (an amateur painter) did a supply run up the coast of Baffin Island? Through their painting they were keen to help make other Canadians aware of these northern parts of Canada and to encourage the defining of northern territories as belonging to Canada.
We will be meeting next on May 9th and will feature “Bluebird” by Genevieve Graham, another historical fiction. We hope to see you there!
The Heritage Club annual Strawberry Tea will be held on May 10th from 1:00 to 3:00pm at the Club. Admission is $10, children under six are free. Following the entertainment, patrons will be served tea and strawberry shortcake. Groups of six or more should reserve by emailing Joanpzwingli@gmail.com.
