The Seniors Information Centre Celebrates a Decade of Service to its Communities
It usually starts with “... just an idea ...” doesn ’ t it ? It all began with a group of seniors who wanted to do something that would benefit all seniors . The idea would be the Seniors Information Center ( SIC ) which opened its doors in 2007 and now celebrates its tenth year in operation .
The Seniors Information Centre is an independent registered non-profit organization with charitable status . It is overseen by a highly qualified Board of Directors that is truly dedicated to assisting the senior and caregiver population in the southeast NB . Over the years , many dedicated people have contributed their time and services to assist with the start-up and on-going support for this worthwhile organization .
The Centre would not have survived the challenges that

It ’ s happening ! are common for non-profit organizations without the contribution of those who participated in raising start-up funds , goods in kind and by volunteering . In this group we ’ ll find some of the current members of the Moncton Seniors Advisory Committee , the City of Moncton , Medavie Blue Cross , the Volunteer Centre of Southeastern New Brunswick , United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeast NB and Co-op Atlantic . Without the support of these organisations , the Centre would surely have faced closure more than once and it would have been a great loss to both seniors and communities .
We also wish to thank the Province of New Brunswick ; our PrimeTime magazine contributors and advertisers who support this print publication , the NB Senior Citizens Federation and the Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors ’ grants that made our latest projects possible .
From its humble beginnings as a resource office , the Centre now has the infrastructure and capability of working with seniors in more remote areas and partner with other organizations for the betterment of senior ’ s lives and their families . It has maintained its commitment to ensure seniors have access to the most critical information they need when faced with life changing transitions . We do this through varied methods of communication including telephone , walk-in , print , video , audio , sign language , etc …
Although we are celebrating our 10th anniversary , our work is far from over . Over the next few months you will notice more changes to our website and upcoming YouTube video channel .
We are all part of a life continuum . In 2007 , we were all 10 years younger - today we are without any exception 10 years older so I would encourage younger adults to jump in and be an active part of this significant continuum . As a non-profit organization , the Centre will always need and welcome volunteers and financial support in whatever capacity offered .
If we ’ re aiming for optimum health as a state of positive wellbeing which encompasses physical , psychological , social and spiritual health , then let ’ s make sure we define our future through the contributions made today . Be part of this changing and living journey . I guarantee it will be amazing and insightful . It ’ s your future as well .
