By the time this article goes to print, we will have held our first Speed Dating event at the Unison Veiner Centre. Some of you might think this is a strange event for a seniors’ centre, but think again! From this and other events, new relationships—whether friendships or romantic partnerships—have formed.
It’s fitting that for February, we celebrate the love that can grow from new friendships. The beating heart of Unison is our members, and love is always worth searching for and celebrating. At Unison, we’re all about living our best lives, and it’s hard to do that if we’re alone. The relationships we build and the quality of those relationships shape the vibrancy of our lives.
In the spirit of connection, the theme of February’s dinner at the Veiner Centre will be an event for
couples. On February 12th, we’ll be hosting a Valentine’s dinner, with tickets sold in pairs. Be sure to check our website or social media to register. Our popular steak and shrimp combo will be on
the menu, so don’t miss it!
Unison at Kerby Centre will be hosting a special Valentine’s luncheon on February 14th, with Chef Matt’s selection of prime rib and accompaniments, including cheesecake, and wine and beer for purchase. Get your tickets for only $25.
There’s not much more fun than getting out of town with good friends. Unison has day and overnight trips on offer that are perfect for exploring with a friend, or even meeting someone new. Our Active Aging Teams in Calgary and Medicine Hat have some great trips planned for 2025. In Medicine Hat, our volunteer committee is aiming to run 12 trips this year. As I write this, they already have seven of the ten planned, so grab a friend and sign up for a day out! We have some exciting experiences in the works, with a few potential adventures outside of Canada.
If you and your partner met at Unison and are willing to share your story, we’d love to feature it on our social media. Feel free to email me at LarryM@UnisonAlberta.com.
