February is also the month to start thinking about taxes.
Senior Support North Vancouver Island (SSNVI) will once again be providing simple income tax return preparation for seniors 55+. Income thresholds apply ($40,000 for a single person, $50,000 for a couple). This service will begin at the beginning of March and run through the end of April.

Though drop ins are welcome, we do suggest calling before coming by the office. 250-871-5940.

Keeping our hearts healthy and happy doesn’t have to mean rigorous exercise. Dancing to your favorite song, stretching gently in the morning, or even practicing chair yoga can improve flexibility, balance, and mood. It’s about finding what feels good for you and making it part of your routine.
• For more activities and recreation Check out the Comox Valley Recreation Guide, available at the Town of Comox, City of Courtenay, Comox Recreation Centre, and Lewis Centre.
• Or maybe you want to get moving with something like, carpet bowling Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:00pm, at d’Esterre Seniors’ Centre.

The warmth of human connection is just as vital as physical health. February’s focus on love and kindness is a wonderful opportunity to reach out to friends, family, or neighbors. A simple phone call, a heartfelt note, or even a shared cup of tea can lift spirits on both sides.
