New Horizons Seniors Program

Deshantari’s NHSP project started on 14 March, 2016 and will continue until 13 March, 2017 and the following members will be organizing the various senior activities during this time complementing Deshantari’s other regular activities:

The NHSP team welcomes feedback from the community on the type of senior activities they would like us to organize that relate to enhancing the seniors’ social well-being and community vitality. These senior activities are open to all Deshantari members and will be held in strong collaboration with organizations like Indo-Canada Community Centre (ICCC), India-Canada Association (ICA), and Nepalese Canadian Association of Ottawa (NCAO). At the moment the NHSP team plans to use these funds primarily to organize 10 Workshops (usually one per month) that will address various senior well-being issues.

Canada’s national, once a year event to raise funds for research into the causes of Parkinson’s, better

treatments and one day, a cure. Together we raised funds for education and support services, not only for people with Parkinson’s, but for their caregivers and family members too.

2014 Open House – Bengali Movie Show

Sunday, Sept 29, 2013

Deshantari organized an Open House at the Baxter Hall (1101 Baxter Road, Ottawa) on Sunday 29 Sep,
2013.

In this event Deshantari presented “Hirer Angti” a feature film by the late Rituparno Ghosh. The
executive committee had chosen this film to pay tribute to the great director/artist Rituparno Ghosh
ensuring that the movie could be enjoyed by all age groups. The film starts and ends with the festive
mood of Durga pujo and has excerpts from famous songs of Mahalaya.

The open house was a great success with a large number of people attending to watch the movie and
socialize in some nice “adda” over tea, “alu tikka” and “golub jamun”.
