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.

Parkinson’s Super Walk – Charity Walk

Saturday, September 7, 2013

Deshantari was one of the proud sponsors of Parkinson’s Superwalk 2013 held on 7th September 2013 at Ron Kolbus Center, 102 Greenview Avenue, Ottawa.

The community joined 14,000 other Canadians who took part in the annual Parkinson SuperWalk in
support of over 100,000 Canadians with Parkinson’s. Parkinson SuperWalk was Parkinson Society
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.
