Seniors keep active to age well

Seniors exercise, strength and aqua classes were on the agenda this week to keep senior residents active and healthy during Seniors Week along with a range of free fun events and activities.

“It’s also about acknowledging our seniors and showing our appreciation for their valued contribution to society,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.

“This year marks the 60th year of celebrating Queensland Seniors, and this year, more than ever, people need something to celebrate, in the safest way possible.

“As Covid-19 restrictions have seen many older people isolated from their usual social groups, never has it been more important to ensure people remain connected.

“Council’s Ageing Well Noosa program along with activities and events in Seniors Week 2020 were wonderful opportunities for our seniors to try a new activity and meet new people.”

“Seniors enjoyed a broad range of activities across the region including a range of strength, stability and aqua classes on offer during the week,” Council’s Community Development manager Alison Hamblin said.

“The health and wellbeing of our community and staff are our highest priority and all activities adhered to the appropriate COVID Safe guidelines.”
