A NEW VISION OF AGING

ABOUT CARP:

CARP is a non-partisan national organization, advocating for

the fair treatment of seniors across Canada. Local chapters,

staffed by volunteers, advocate for specific local community

issues and also support national issues.

CARP activities are fun! You will meet folks from your area,

exchange ideas, discuss problems and find out what solutions

others may have found for similar problems.

Our Scarborough CARP Chapter #29 was launched in

May 2012. We are a group of concerned people, aged

30 years and up, with a wide variety of interests,

experience and knowledge in the three major CARP areas of Advocacy, Benefits and Community.

Future meeting topics may include issues such as:

Nutrition and Wellness

Caretaking at Home

Changes in the Health Care system

Financial Planning

Recreation and Travel

Lifelong Learning

Elder Abuse

Transportation Members’ issues – suggestions welcome!

We meet every two or three months, usually at

Centennial College, Progress Campus (with plenty of

free parking). We also attend related community

events in Scarborough and the GTA.

Get to know us better – look inside…

DID YOU KNOW….?

If you live in Scarborough and are a CARP
