While it's used as a social gathering place for many Calgary seniors, Unison at Kerby Centre also offers programs for the isolated, hungry or those suffering abuse. yyc ctvkevinfleming KerbyCentre
"Christmas is a great time, it's also our highest time of need," explained Larry Mathieson, Kerby Centre president and CEO. "So our mental health programs and our food security programs and our elder abuse shelter, we're inevitably busiest around this time of year."
John Gagnon is a monitor in the centre's wood shop who ensures everyone is using the equipment in a safe manner. "Instead of throwing these pallets in the garbage, we use them and I think everybody knows today the cost of lumber has gone up and so this is all 100 per cent pallet wood." The centre also operates a boutique on the second floor called The Wise Owl that sells a number of donated items made by crafty volunteers and some that are on consignment. It's open to the public and run by volunteers like Dorothy Bagan.
