NEWS FROM THE NEW BRUNSWICK SENIOR CITIZENS’ FEDERATION

28/11/2022

0 Comments

Submitted by Lise Guinard

For months now seniors have been entering a new reality. For some, it's a release because they can go back to their daily routine. For others, the situation causes even more anxiety, in particular because it is difficult to respect physical distancing.
Now many seniors are getting out and quietly resuming their old lives. Many were able to resume their activities - meeting at the 50+ clubs, playing cards, visiting family and friends (especially in nursing homes), going to the grocery store or pharmacy, and participating in social activities. Unfortunately, many people don't feel like being exposed to too many others at a time. They accept visits, but prefer to be in small groups only. Also, even though the restrictions have been lifted, not everyone is comfortable going on extended outings in public.
This is somewhat the situation experienced by the 50+ clubs in the province. Many have reopened their doors and resumed their activities, dinners and card games, while others are still fearful of gatherings. We are hopeful that everything can return to normal soon. Our seniors are so in need of socialization, especially after all the isolation of the pandemic.

Christmas Greetings from ACHS President

“Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!”

by Dawne McLean President of Albert County Historical Society

This vintage “pop-up” Christmas card is a personal family treasure that was sent to my Wright grandparents by my great aunt Bessie who lived in Massachusetts. I wanted to share this special card with my Christmas greeting.

I did my best to photograph this detailed heritage pop-up card to show its 3-D dimension. Vintage cards are so beautiful!

As 2022 draws to a close, on behalf of the Albert County Historical Society and Museum, I wish to extend “Christmas Greetings” and “Grateful Thanks” for the support received from Society members, organizations, businesses, volunteers and friends within the Albert County communities and region.
The year 2022 celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the Albert County Museum, as well as other memorable celebrations, historic commemorations and enjoyable community events. This resulted in a successful year due to community attendance and participation, and the dedicated work of the Board of Directors and Museum Manager. Special acknowledgement is given to the Government of Canada for providing support to publish the book titled “A Glimpse of Past Days” so that noteworthy pieces of Albert County’s past history can be shared and preserved.

Christmas traditions are important in passing on family heritage and creating lasting memories. Enjoy a “Merry Christmas” filled with the joys of the season, the warmth of friendship and the love of family!

Community Member of the Month - December ~ In Memory of the late Lois Snider

28/11/2022

1 Comment

This month's recipient of Community Member of the Month is the late Lois Snider of Hillsborough.

Lois is remembered for being a loving wife to her husband, Vaughn, and an amazing mother who was happiest when with her four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Many people of the community have lasting memories of Lois as she was a strong supporting member of many local events, clubs and organizations.

At one time someone told Lois that we couldn’t have a Santa Clause parade in Hillsborough, which made her even more determined to make it happen!

This month marks the beginning of a new community voice. One that YOU will have a say in. One that is formed by neighbours coming together to share their ideas, concerns and hopes with each other and with the people we vote for on the upcoming election days. Advanced polls will be November 19 and 21,with election day being November 28. January 1,2023 is when our newly elected people will come together to form the new local government for Fundy Albert.

Community Member of the Month - Linda Geldart

5/11/2022

2 Comments

This month's recipient of Community Member of the Month is Linda Geldart of Hillsborough.

Linda is a very unique individual who takes great pride in our community (Fundy Albert). Looking to reflect our best image, Linda can be seen daily on the hunt for unwanted refuse left by others along Route 114 and many other streets. This takes a lot of hard work and dedication. People who know Linda certainly appreciate her and her efforts. This nomination is made in hopes to bring more awareness to what Linda does for us and to try to help her keep our community clean.

The hours, the mileage and wear and tear on Linda and her vehicle don’t seem to bother her. In fact, she recently had a window accidentally broken out of her vehicle, which didn’t discourage her and was repaired by Justin Rossiter and his son at no charge. People paying it forward seems to be the way in Fundy Albert, Albert County.

Seen in the picture at the young age of 78 is Linda and her loving husband of 57 years, Leonard. Please say “thank you” when you see Linda!
