Active Living at the Seniors Centre: a conversation with Executive Director Don Amos

"We're built on four pillars as an organization and the key pillar is socialization. When retirement hits, often people will say, oh, I've got this great bucket list. And often people will plow through it in the first year, then sometimes the couch turns into your friend.  The TV turns into your friend, and then you become a little bit more sedentary, and that's when it becomes dangerous for your health. And so that's why the social component for us is so important."-Don Amos, Executive Director, Seniors Association in KingstonThe Seniors Association in Kingston is a not-for-profit, charitable volunteer run organization dedicated to keeping seniors active, involved, connected, and supported.
