The COTA ACT events calendar in 2022 is encouraging imagination, freedom and the spontaneous creativity to do things a little differently. Importantly, we will provide opportunities for Canberra’s seniors to connect and enjoy themselves.
“The COTA ACT team is working closely with the ACT Government to plan events and activities with social distancing and other preventative measures firmly in place,” says Jenny Mobbs, COTA ACT Executive Director.
“We have also moved away from presenting a packed Seniors Week to an energising and refreshing ‘Silver is Gold Festival’ that will stretch across the entire year, providing Canberra’s seniors with a little breathing space to plan their social calendars with safety and confidence,” Ms Mobbs says.
Right now, there are great opportunities to enter two wonderful community competitions that focus upon photography and art. For further information on the Silver is Gold Community Photography and Art Competitions, please go on to our website: www.cotaact.org.au where you can find information, the terms and conditions and entry forms to download.
On Thursday 26 May, at Exhibition Park in Canberra, COTA ACT will be presenting the 2022 ACT Seniors Expo.
The Seniors Expo star attraction, kindly sponsored by LDK Seniors Living, is the Australian food celebrity Maggie Beer AO, an Australian cook, food author, restaurateur, food manufacturer, who is also a judge on The Great Australian Bake Off and a regular guest on MasterChef Australia.
Joining Maggie at the Expo will be the Maggie Beer Foundation and Maggie Beer Foods, which will be selling their wide range of products and offering taste-tempting samples to Expo patrons. Expo patrons will have the opportunity to hear from Maggie about the importance of senior’s nutrition and the work of her Foundation.
With 160 stalls, spread across two huge pavilions, you can also check out the latest products and services available to Canberra’s seniors and gain a fascinating insight into the treasure trove of lifestyle and recreational activities that are available to you.
Watch nutritional cooking demos, hear great music from a cavalcade of community musicians, watch great dancing displays, and explore the realm of electric vehicles, courtesy of ACTEWAGL.
Transport Canberra are generously providing free light rail and bus services on the day and car parking at EPIC is free. There are Expo giveaways and the opportunity to win exciting prizes for those in attendance. All this fun and entertainment is yours for just a gold coin donation!
Join us this year as we celebrate being a senior in the thriving and cosmopolitan city in which we live and let’s make 2022 the year of sparking connection across Canberra!
