About Us

Our History Senior Scene became a reality in 1974, starting in a small room added to the Sports Club on Pine Road. In October of 1989 sod turning took place for a new building, thanks to the land donated by the R.M. of Victoria Beach. Official opening took place in June of 1992. In May of 1998 the H.E.L.P CENTRE (now known as The East Beaches Resource Centre) was set up under the umbrella of East Beaches Senior Scene. In 1999, plans for an addition to the facility were approved with the official opening taking place in June of 2000. In the fall of 2008 a permit was obtained for upgrading and renovation of our kitchen. The new kitchen was in full use by December of 2008. We now proudly feature a "STATE OF THE ART" kitchen. In 2012 funds were raised and grants obtained for yet another addition to our building. We have a new Senior Scene board room, new East Beaches Resource Centre office/board room, a new Senior Scene office, an elevator to the basement and a accessible washroom. The new area was officially opened on June 8th, 2013. In 2014 with funding from the Interlake Eastern Regional Health Authority (I.E.R.H.A) the Club was able to hire a part-time Program Coordinator to oversee the day-to-day activities of the Club, programming & volunteerism. This position quickly transitioned to a 3/4 position, with the Program Coordinator working 4 days/week. Most recently, as of March 2019 our Club's name was changed from the East Beaches Senior Scene to the East Beaches Social Scene. The general membership felt the name change would more accurately describe who we are, what we do, encourage new memberships and hall rentals. (Our legal corporations name remains as Senior Scene Inc.) |
