The Federation Ageing Well Committee and Council is inviting senior residents to get live and local at the 2024 Federation Ageing Well Festival.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Pat Bourke said each year the festival encourages participants to be active, social and healthy and is an opportunity to make new friends or reconnect with ones we haven’t seen for a while. “The Seniors Festival is our chance of saying thank you to senior residents of our community for their service and contribution.”
“The Federation Ageing Well Committee once again has created a diverse program of events across the Council area and I would like to encourage seniors in our community to get live and local this year and attend one of their closest events,” Cr Bourke said.
Join in the fun this March, by going to a senior’s event in your local town. Bookings open Wednesday 7 February 2024 at 9:30 am.
