Kent Street Activity Centre has teamed up with A Rocha Canada at the Brooksdale Heritage site in South Surrey to offer some tours and programs for seniors in the community.

On Jan. 23, join in on the fun of preparing and sharing a community meal. Be part of the process from harvesting organically grown vegetables from the field to adding the finishing touches. All ingredients and tools will be provided along with take-home recipes.

On April 10, enjoy a heritage farm tour of the heritage site. Check out the vegetable garden, visit with the resident ducks and chicken and browse the farm and gift shop for local handmade gifts. A freshly made lunch with organically grown produce is included.

Call 604-541-2199 to register for either of these trips.
