It’s a strong start to the year for the Pat Porter Active Living Centre in Steinbach with the return of community events and taking over the city’s transit program.
Executive Director Audrey Harder says it feels great to have the monthly pancake breakfasts return because it invites the community to come inside and share a meal and conversation.
“We’re going to try to do this as much as possible,” she says. “Community events like our pancake breakfasts do so much to raise spirits, and really give the feeling that we are not alone, in whatever we’re going through.”
Harder notes there are times when people bring their musical instruments to the breakfast and provide some entertainment. The breakfast also serves as a fundraiser to support the Meals on Wheels program.
