Citizen's Association, Branch 69 (Sechelt) -- Album 2,
Page 3
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.
