The trade show will be held on Wednesday October 19th from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre. This year we are celebrating our 20th year for the Seniors Symposium. Also, Interior Health is planning to kick off their 2011 seasonal flu immunization at the Seniors Symposium again this year.
The theme this year is “Volunteering & Healthy Aging”. This year the Seniors Symposium aims to bring a stronger awareness of the benefits of volunteering a healthier and happier quality of life.
