The 2022 Gala Committee is pleased to present tickets and sponsorship opportunities available for the 30th Gala Dinner and Dance planned for September 24. The Gala Committee is comprised of a group of community volunteers who have seen many years of success. We hope to continue this successful path with the 2022 event. You can help make that happen! In 2020/21, proceeds of $77,977 were used for the NICU Stay Within Reach Renovation project. Once completed, the renovations will allow parents of NICU babes a comfortable environment to stay while remaining close to their new baby. The proceeds from 2022 will be used for the purchase of much needed equipment at the BRHC.

Emergency Lock Box
Have your ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fires & Emergency Services can access your property without having to break in. Contact Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. for more information.
40th Anniversary Celebrations

Men’s Club
Did you know that Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. had a Men’s Club? For approximately 2.5 years, the Men’s Club has created a workspace where like-minded men can work shoulder-to-shoulder. Local volunteer men created this club to address a growing need to provide a safe space for men to meet weekly, share ideas, life experiences and provide value to Brandon. If you are interested in becoming a member to participate in workshops, presentations, games, small projects or just a friendly male voice, then please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or (204) 571-2050.

Promotional Videos
Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. has worked with the Media Arts students at Vincent Massey High School to create multiple promotional videos.

Please keep a watchful eye as we slowly introduce these videos through our various marketing mediums throughout the year.

As we know, Manitoba summer temperatures can reach 30+ degrees Celsius. This can pose a real problem for young children as well as older adults as their bodies can have trouble compensating to sudden changes in temperatures. Symptoms to monitor for while in the sun are excessive sweating, increased fatigue, altered mental state, slurred speech, weakness, dizziness, headache, or muscle cramps. If you suspect someone is suffering from a heat-related illness, try to get that person into a shaded area or indoors if possible, apply a cool dampened cloth to their head and extremities, and offer chilled fluids if the individual can safely swallow.
