Monday Murals -- "Fun Keeps You Young"

I'm taking part today in 
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.


This colourful community mural is painted
on a wall in the main lobby of the
North Edmonton Seniors Association (NESA),
one of the places I go to attend art lessons
and other classes/activities for seniors.

This mural forms the basis for NESA's logo --


There are half a dozen seniors recreation centres in
various Edmonton neighbourhoods, designed to promote
health, wellness, community, and fun activities
for our city's diverse populations as we age.

  5. That is absolutely the truth. Fun does very much keep us young. Another good reason to allow ourselves to have as much of it as possible!

  13. A lovely mural. It’s nice cities are now catering to the older generations
    Once people retire they seem to withdraw and go days or weeks without any human interaction. This has definitely helped combat elder loneliness
