Happy New Year! We wish you health and well-being as we enter 2026 and hope that each of you has an event to anticipate, whether it be a wedding, a reunion, a birthday, a new grandchild, a trip, fulfilling a dream, enjoying the day or something unique to you. Look forward and celebrate.
Mid-Sun Seniors’ group is looking forward to maintaining current friendships and building new ones as we continue our weekly social events, pub nites, and varied activities. Local seniors 55+ are invited to try out our activities. If you enjoy the experience and would like to continue, a MSCA membership will be required to participate. Our planning committee is working on upcoming 2026 festivities including Seniors’ Week gatherings, potluck dinners, outdoor adventures, and entertainment events. Weekly cards will resume at MSCC on Thursday, January 8.
If you are a senior who enjoys playing Bingo, we are in the process of renewing our license and hope to continue the popular evening each month of 2026.
As winter envelops our city, we will also embrace safer driving and walking during daylight hours and change Pub Nites to a Pub Lunch held at nearby venues. Beginning in January, you are invited to join us for conversation and a delicious meal. Please contact us to reserve your seat.
A thank you is extended to a small group of seniors who faithfully supported local food banks and an animal shelter. During 2025, the weekly donations were amazing and so appreciated by Calgary recipients. In January and February 2025, Hope Mission received 242 non-perishable food items, weighing 243 pounds and a generous cash donation. From March 1 to the end of November, Alberta Veterans Food Bank was supported with 727 items, weighing 987 pounds and a substantial cash donation. Mid-Sun Christmas Market and Mid-Sun Garden each made a contribution to our collection. In addition, 131 donated items benefitted animals at AARCS animal rescue. A huge thank you to the dedicated couple who organized and transported all of these items. Well done Mid-Sun Seniors!
