GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SENIORS’ SATELLITES

Management & Supervision: The Seniors’ Satellites were created by the City of London, and City staff and volunteers manage and operate the satellites operation and their programs. Various community partners may offer supplementary programming, or donate space.

Membership: Membership to EACH satellite is $10.25 + HST ($11.60) per person, per year! *2019 rate Additional minimal fees per class may be charged for classes with a certified instructor (see program schedules at each satellite for more information). Membership to any satellite is open to anyone aged 55 & over, living in any area of the City. Memberships can be purchased online at www.london.ca, at one of the City’s Customer Service Centres (for City services available evenings and Saturdays visit london.ca/hours), or on site at your Satellite during the Satellite operating day/time (see dates/time on front page of this brochure). If you’re purchasing your membership at the satellite location, we only accept cash or cheque (all cheques are to be made payable to ‘The City of London’). No pre-registration required for classes (unless otherwise noted); all classes are drop-in. Memberships are non-transferable between Satellite locations.

Questions about purchasing or renewing your membership? Call our Customer Service Team at 519-661-5575.

Membership includes:

Access to all programs and services at YOUR satellite location (unless otherwise noted);

Discounted rate on Spectrum programs operating at Kiwanis and Hamilton Road Seniors’ Centres and;

The ‘member rate’ for bus trips at both Kiwanis and Hamilton Road Seniors’ Centres.

Membership does not include:

Access to member programs and services at Kiwanis or Hamilton Road Seniors’ Centres, including special events, without paying a visitor fee

Program fees at any partner program location

Access to community partner programs

Access to more than one Satellite location without paying a separate membership to each

Member Input: We welcome the input from all satellite members in regard to programming and special events. Members of the satellites are encouraged to complete surveys and talk to the Greeter at their satellite to voice their opinion. Programs are changed or enhanced regularly per the input of our members.

Programs and Activities: The programs we offer at the satellite locations mimic the ‘core’ programs available at Kiwanis and Hamilton Road Seniors’ Centre & Community Centres. Programs build on the concept of the Dimensions of Wellness, offering programs that support the physical, emotional, social, environmental, occupational, spiritual and intellectual wellness of our members. Our satellite programs are all ‘drop-in’ in nature, and therefore it is unnecessary to stay for the duration of the programming time at your satellite location, or pre-register (unless otherwise noted). The fitness and yoga instructors are certified, and ensure that proper conditioning, stretching, form, posture, warm up and cool downs are followed, in order to guard against any unnecessary strain on the body, or injury. The asterisks (*) next to class names indicate that the instructor has successfully completed ‘dementia friendliness’ training with the Alzheimer Society London Middlesex, and the plus sign (+) indicates the instructor has completed ‘sensitivity awareness training for those with physical disabilities’ with the March of Dimes Canada. Programs may be changed quarterly at the satellites, depending on participation levels and input of members, and availability of instructors.

Additional Information: If you require additional information about our satellites, please visit our website at www.london.ca/seniors, or contact Tracy Drenth, Supervisor, City of London, by phone at 519-661-CITY, ext 5769, or by email at tdrenth@london.ca.

Please help us keep the Seniors’ Satellite program spaces fragrance free

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A SENIORS’ SATELLITE MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMS

NOTE FOR SENIORS’ SATELLITE MEMBERS RE: INCLEMENT WINTER WEATHER

Due to unpredictable weather, we have set up a system for us to inform members if there are closures or program disruptions at any of our Seniors’ Satellite locations.

If we are experiencing inclement weather, we will leave a message on the voicemail box at the Kiwanis Seniors’ Community Centre, as early as 8:30 am, Mon-Fri. By calling 519-661-5740, we will inform you if:

A Satellite is closed

Specific classes have been cancelled

Please note, however, if an instructor is ill and does not provide adequate notice, or has an emergency situation, we do not always have adequate time to find a replacement instructor, and therefore you may not have prior notice that the class has been cancelled (since our classes are all drop in). Cancellations or class disruptions (should we have advanced notice), will also be posted on the respective Satellite web pages at www.london.ca/seniors.

SPECIAL NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re Ensuring a Supportive Environment for Everyone: The majority of the Seniors’ Satellite staff are certified in ‘dementia friendliness’ through the Alzheimer Society London Middlesex. This certification course provides staff with additional knowledge and compassion to support those with Alzheimer’s and/or dementia. Those classes with a star (*) next to their program name indicates that our instructor has successfully completed the training. The plus sign (+) indicates the instructor has also completed ‘sensitivity awareness training for those with physical disabilities’ with the March of Dimes Canada. This certification course provides staff with knowledge and compassion to support those with physical disabilities, vision or hearing loss. Greeters at all locations have also completed both certificate programs. Our programs remain welcoming, friendly, and accessible for all. Any caregiver/support person may attend the Satellites free of charge (with the expectation that the caregiver will provide support to the member at all times).
