“You don’t have to know how to cook. You just have to be 55-plus.”
Those are the requirements given by instructor Donna Meehan for a six-week Food Skills for Seniors course that she will be teaching, starting April 13.
“It’s a really neat course and it’s totally free,” she said
Participants will meet weekly for 2 .5 hours to cook, talk, eat, and then take the leftovers home.
They will gain cooking experience, try out and adapt simple recipes, learn how to find and prepare healthy foods, learn about nutrition, and have fun.
Funding is being provided through Interior Health and the Canadian Diabetes Association.
The weekly workshops will be held at the Yellowhead Community Services building on Park Drive. For more information or to register, call YCS at 250-674-2600.
