During the month of July, 14 people from a variety of backgrounds and interests met every Friday morning to discuss the topic of "What Home Means" within the framework of the more senior generation. Much of what we have discovered is now being developed into a hopefully useful format, with the help of the Eldercare Foundation, Saanich Parks and Recreation and the VIHA Wellness Centre. The project was interesting and enjoyable thanks to the skills of Jessie, the Facilitator of Finding Home. Jessie came from Vancouver every week to work with us. The other woman who worked with us every week was Liz from the Wellness Centre. Both ladies were very skilled, in a fun and friendly way, in drawing out our thoughts and ideas. With the ongoing projects that have come from this, we hope to help seniors feel "at home" where ever they might be living.
