News from NESA!

Here we are at the start of June already. Time has flown by this Spring season and we couldn't be more thrilled as we get closer to our return 'home'. With less than one month to go before our season ends and the move back commences, we hope you are just as excited about reuniting under one roof as much as we are!

As mentioned in previous emails, our Programming Team has been busy working away at making plans to put together some programming and activities for the summer months. While the Northgate Recreation Centre will not be in full operation until the end of August, we do have some activities lined up to keep you busy with next season.

While more updates and information will be shared with you in the coming weeks, we are pleased to be able to share with you some details about our tentative Summer season.

Summer Plans at Northgate

During the summer season, NESA intends on completing some of its own building and space enhancements once the contract for the infrastructure work is all done, and NESA has full access to the facility. Plans for painting, flooring replacement (in select areas), reorganizing spaces, select furniture and equipment replacement, along with a few additional upgrades are tasks on the list for the NESA team to conquer over July and August.

While the Northgate Lions Recreation Facility is scheduled to be open to the public starting Monday, July 15, 2024*, please note that this is for members attending the fitness centre and fitness programs only. There will be limited access to spaces and amenities within the facility due to the ongoing renovations. The Cherrydale Cafe and Restaurant space will not be open. More details and information will be provided as NESA has more updates to share.

The Great Canadian Giving Challenge is back!

NESA is excited to announce that CanadaHelps is hosting another month-long campaign to help charities like ours. Every $1 donated to NESA in June enters us for a chance to win $10k! If NESA won these funds, we would be able to continue to sustain our Transportation Subsidy program ensuring that our seniors can continue to access their favorite NESA activities! Click here to read a testimonial from one of NESA's transportation program users.

We hope you'll consider making a donation to NESA during the month of June. Your donation will go a long way in helping us continue to support our Transportation Subsidy program; every little bit helps, and we are so grateful for your support! (If you choose to donate, please select the 'Supporting Our Seniors' campaign - thank you!).

Over the coming weeks we will update you about the progress of this campaign as well as share more NESA Member testimonials about this amazing program! Click here to donate today!
