A gift of land by the Town of Sidney to senior citizens for a much-

needed Peninsula activities centre was announced at the municipal
Elderly Citizens and Pioneers tea last Sunday at Sanscha.

W.E. Briggs of the Old Age Pensioners Organization and trustee of a
building fund established by Volunteer Corps of Silver Threads, said:

“This-is.a good start!”

Mr. Briggs suggested that trees should be planted’on the land im-
mediately and a notice posted to indicate the site of the future Activity

Centre.

Mayor Stanley Dear announced the dedication of the 1.3 acres on
Resthaven Drive to a crowd of about 200 attending the tea.

The. O.A.P.0. and Silver
Threads organization in this area
recently joined in committee to
solve the problem of. a
headquarters lack.

The gift from the municipality

“means a lot to all elderly
people’ said Mr. Briggs.
‘Meanwhile, offers of donations
have already been made ac-
cording to Ald. Hugh
-Hollingworth who found ready
enthusiasm for-the project at the
Sanscha tea.
