“We want our local seniors to feel comfortable enjoying new experiences, continuing their learning, developing their skills and having fun with what’s on offer across Camden,” Cr Fedeli said.
“This year’s activities promote building inclusive communities and provides an opportunity for seniors to try new things, contribute and remain active and engaged in their local communities.
“I hope the events and activities offered throughout February and March inspire seniors to connect, stay active, share skills and keep doing the things they enjoy, together!”
