The Bentley Group
Facilitated Stephen Patterson
Alternate Wednesdays from 10 am-noon. September to May
This is a study and discussion group for seniors. They meet every other week for 2 hours to explore the big ideas of world civilization as found in literature, mythology, history, and music. Topics are chosen that challenge (the poetry of William Blake and Homer’s The Odyssey are examples from the past) but they also laugh and have fun while sharing viewpoints and stretch minds. No cost.

Speakers from the community are invited to present on topics of interest to seniors.

Where we have 2 Universities in Fredericton, there have been presenters who are searching to make contact with seniors for the purpose of participating in research the results being focused on healthy living.
We are continuously reaching out for new contacts. If you have suggestions, please contact the Centre’s Coordinator at 450-7849.
