Active Living Centre
The Carman Active Living Centre officially opened on September
28, 2005.
This great community facility has become a reality due to
the strong dedication and tireless efforts of many volunteers.
Many programs, events and activities are occurring at the
Centre and it has become an important part of the community.
Approximately 40 people participate daily in one or more activities
during the fall and winter sessions. The ongoing activities
include shuffleboard, carpet bowling, cards, bridge, snooker,
fitness class, yoga, mixed choir, movies, and pot luck luncheons.
Other events include educational series, health promotion,
social and fundraising events.
Membership in the Active Living Centre for the current year
2007-08 is over 200 people. New members are always welcome.
The program committee puts together a calendar of events each
month. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for programs
or is interested in hall rental, please contact the Active
Living Centre at 745-2356.

Who are we?
The support services to seniors program is designed to enable
the older members of our community to live independently in
their own home for as long as possible. This service is available
to any person 65 and over and other persons who are physically
compromised. The Carman Community Seniors Resource Council
was formed by a group of local citizens. Its aim is to provide
direct and indirect services to seniors.
CONGREGATE MEAL PROGRAM
Our congregate meal program provides a nutritional meal and
an opportunity for social support for older adults. Meals
are served at noon Monday to Friday at Parkview Manor at 159
1st Ave. NW. in Carman. Clients are asked to call 745-3357
to book a meal.
EQUIPMENT LOAN PROGRAM
Our equipment pool has about 250 pieces of equipment that
are made available on a refundable deposit basis. The community
has supported this program through monetary donations and
the donation of used equipment.
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
The senior client pays a fee to cover the cost of fuel; use
of vehicle, and parking and the driver provides service from
