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:
  1. Prabir Neogi (Chair and Core-Member)
  2. Atulesh Nandi (Core-Member) 
  3. Arun Roy (Core-Member)
  4. Angsuman Rudra
  5. Manas Dan
  6. Anindo Maiti
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.

Transportation Assistance Service

1) Shared Taxi service to and from the venue of the event, will be provided to a limited number of Deshantari seniors with mobility issues during Deshantari Annual Dinner celebration events at the  Ottawa City Hall- Jean Peagott Place, 110 Laurier Ave W, Ottawa.

SPCO funds to use

– These seniors are long standing members of Deshantari, who have mobility issues that prevent them from driving or taking OCTranspo,

-Without this assistance it would be impossible for them to attend these key religious and cultural events.

-Response from the seniors assisted was extremely positive.
