1. SCARBOROUGH CARP CHAPTER 29 HOLDS TRAVEL AND LEISURE EVENT
On Thursday, March 27, the Scarborough CARP Chapter held a Travel and Leisure Event
entitled "Vacations and Staycations". This Event, sponsored by Sun Life Financial, was
attended by over 140 people from Scarborough, Toronto, Markham and even from the
Haliburton area. In the travel spotlight were Sun Life, Sell-Off Vacations, the Travel Industry
Council of Ontario and other groups, who offered tips for travel, health and safety while
travelling, and having proper insurance when vacationing. Leisure activity organizations
included ROMWalks, the Scarborough Horticultural Society, Volunteer Toronto/SAVA and
Theatre Scarborough.
Attendees were treated to live music from the 3-piece band "Blue Road", timely income tax
tips offered by Italian Canadian Assistance Inc., and there was an Information Table filled
with travel tips, local organizational info and hobby lists. In a separate (filled to capacity)
activity room, participation demos were given by Ryerson Theatre, Taoist Tai Chi, and Zumba
Gold®. The Event concluded with a 50-50 draw and a chance to win door prizes. Those who
attended the Event were pleased with the variety of offerings, information and assistance
available!
The members of the Scarborough CARP Board and Committee-At-Large would like to thank
Sun Life Financial and all the organizations, individuals and attendees who made this Travel
and Leisure Event a successful, fun and information-filled afternoon for everyone.
