Coquitlam residents ages 50 and up can pick up a Seniors Week passport and collect stamps at group activities for a chance to win a prize.
The passport booklets, which can be collected at the Dogwood or Glen Pine pavilions or the Maillardville Community Centre, list several free events happening for seniors during the dedicated week, June 2 to 8, that's presented in part by Aspira Retirement Living (Astoria and Mayfair Terrace).
For every three stamps, the participants name will be entered into a draw.
And in Port Coquitlam, the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (2150 Wilson Ave.) will be filled with fun programs during the special week, which kicks off with a Homeowners Grant Workshop on Monday, June 3.
Port Moody has a Seniors Try It Week from June 17 to 21.
