Gear Up for Nova Scotia 55+ Games in Lunenburg County

Lunenburg County will be hosting the Nova Scotia 55+ Games in 2017 from Sept. 13 to 16. The event, with the theme of Fun, Fitness and Friendship, gives people 55 years and older an opportunity to test their skills against people their own age from across the province.

Every two years, the games are hosted in a region of Nova Scotia where up to 1,000 athletes come together to enjoy fun, fitness and friendship. If you like to participate in sports, activities or passive games, check out what will be happening in Lunenburg County in 2017 at www.2017ns55plusgames.ca

Right now, our local recreation departments are working to organize some Try-It activity sessions for seniors across Lunenburg County in anticipation of the upcoming games.

Some sessions to look forward to this October are: washer toss, darts, 8-ball, shuffleboard, mountain biking, archery and horseshoes. They will also be offering duplicate bridge, auction 45s, cribbage and scrabble. Many seniors enjoy curling and a Learn to Curl and a stick curling session will be held at the Chester Curling Club in the fall.

The 2017 committee is working on finalizing the list of 26 events, but a sneak preview can be found on Facebook site (search for NS 55+ Games 2017). If you are interested in participating or want to get involved as a volunteer, keep an eye on the website or send a message on Facebook. The 2017 games are brought to us by Events Lunenburg County.
