How about a little Seniors’ Centre for Excellence Palmerston Dining Program, “Did You Know” challenge?
1. Did you know Canada has a desert?
2. Did you know that one of Canada’s warmest and freshest lakes is nestled in Osoyoos, British Columbia?
3. Did you know that Osoyoos is celebrated for world-class vineyards, wineries, and fresh orchard produce?
If you didn’t know any of that, or maybe if you haven’t heard of Osoyoos, you just might be delighted. (Even if you have heard about Osoyoos, you will still be delighted!)
On Wednesday, August 19, how about we meet at James Street United Church in Palmerston for a delicious (non-airline style) lunch and a presentation with our globe-trotting friend, Doris Cassan?
Doris is going to tell us all about what grows in this Canadian desert and how it really is possible to get a sunburn in April! She will be the perfect tour guide and will take us on a journey where we will explore some of the fascinating natural and cultural history of this community.
Let’s do lunch and let’s learn plenty. It'll be fun!
Get in touch, soon, and let us know you’re coming! It’s always nice to have good company. [email protected]; 519-638-1000.
