"In my opinion, the thing that made the Glenyan Manor senior's program so special is that fact it's not a program that's just for the seniors. I was surprised at the amount of familiarity I felt even when I just started volunteering. It definitely felt like a family. I think this has to do with the fact that the program has allowed both the seniors and the volunteers to see that age really doesn't get in the way of laughter and enjoying yourselves. I never felt pressured or forced to go in and I found myself looking forward to enjoying that three hours with the seniors every week. It's the kind of volunteering program that you never want to leave.
I find that it's amazing the amount of diverse activities that the program offers; everybody is engaged and there is just this charm that the elder's bring into the program. It brightens my day talking and laughing with them. To simply let elders know that people other than their family members and the community care about them, I think is amazing. It's especially hard for a lot of the seniors since they're immigrants and have some language barriers. This program gives them the opportunity to communicate more and satisfy their own curiosity within this new environment.
All in all, I think it's a program that feels like a family weekly event and everybody gets something out of it.”
