Age of Literati – Network of Traditional Chinese Culture
Seniors
Seniors are considered with reverence. We offer our seniors in our community a place where they are welcome, treated with respect, reduce their isolation, offer them a place where they can learn many activities and keep their minds and bodies active, many seniors will have a place where they can offer their talents to teach or mentor people in this modern world.
Now, do you realise the health and well being seniors can develop with activities we offer? Just take a close look at these seniors performing at our Age of Literati performance held at the Flato Markham Theater.

For example, seniors in CHEERS have been offering and performing concerts in seniors’ homes and performing stages in many events.
Staff and volunteers will be educated towards awareness and consideration for seniors, visitors and others. A warm and welcoming communications with respect is always heartwarming in any community. Funds will be set aside for free, healthy and tasty light snacks and refreshments. Cooking, nutrition and meal preparation courses will be conducted.
Seniors with Traditional and Cultural Expertise will be invited to teach at the COFN Center as volunteers or paid professionals. A vehicle will be funded to transport people and equipment for performances, events and festivals. We will also continue to conduct offsite entertainment programs in seniors’ homes.
Funds for Publishing, Recording, Translating and Copyrighting important or Meritorious works in Literature, Instrumental Music or Songs, Artwork in Painting, Carving, Calligraphy, etc. Ancient Traditions will have special focus.
For our seniors’ future programs and well being, a building will be procured through funding either through a purchase or lease of premises donated by kind or cash. Renovations and designs will be made ergonomic and easily accessible in all building areas.
