Citizen's Association, Branch 69 (Sechelt) -- Album 10, Page 1
In
1968, the Old Age Pensioners (Branch 96) of Sechelt voted to give
up their charter and join the Seniors Citizens' Association of British
Columbia. The 138 members of the Branch received the charter on Jan.
16, 1969. Regular meetings and social events were held in the Legion's
old hall on Mermaid St. on a rental basis. When the Legion decided
to sell this property in 1974, Branch 69 was able to purchase it.
Renovations and upgrades were accomplished over the years and many
activities regularly took place in it. In 1982 a building committee
was struck with the approval of the members to look into purchasing
property with adequate parking for a new centre. In 1984 over 200
members voted to purchase a piece of property at the corner of Trail
Avenue and Spindrift Lane, and a new Seniors' Activity Centre was
built. Today, it is known as the Sechelt Activity Centre and open
to anyone who wishes to become a member. The facility is also rented
on a regular basis for various functions.
