A NEW VISION OF AGING
| Our Scarborough CARP Chapter #29 was launched in May 2012. We are a group of concerned people, aged 30 years and up, with a wide variety of interests, experience and knowledge in the three major CARP areas of Advocacy, Benefits and Community.Future meeting topics may include issues such as:
ü Nutrition and Wellness ü Caretaking at Home ü Changes in the Health Care system ü Financial Planning ü Recreation and Travel ü Lifelong Learning ü Elder Abuse ü Transportation
We meet every two or three months, usually at Centennial College, Progress Campus (with plenty of free parking). We also attend related community events in Scarborough and the GTA. Get to know us better – look inside…
