Turkey, stuffing and apple pie were on the menu earlier today, Dec. 12, at the City of Port Coquitlam’s annual Christmas luncheon for seniors.
Hundreds of diners filled Mabbett Hall at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC) for the free meal for members of the Wilson Seniors Advisory Association, and others.
Sponsored by Mayfair and Astoria Retirement Living, as well as Harken and Tidal Towing, the buffet was served by Port Coquitlam council and civic staff, including Couns. Steve Darling, Nancy McCurrach, Darrell Penner and Glenn Pollock and Glenn Mitzel, PoCo’s recreation director.
Mayor Brad West and his family were also present for the holiday celebration with seniors — many of whom dressed up in tinsel, reindeer ears and Santa hats to mark the special occasion.
And, on the wall, the city had a slideshow of Wilson Seniors activities over the year.
After the meal, the dance floor opened with live tunes from the band Phat Santa.
