Eora Elders Olympics 2017

Planning has begun for the 2017 Eora Elders Olympics to be held during Senior’s Week, Friday  March 3rd at the Robyn Webster Sports Centre in Tempe from 9:30am – 3pm.

Now in it’s third year, the Eora Elders Olympics will provide Elders with an opportunity to enjoy and participate in sporting activities that will promote good health and active ageing. The Elder Olympians engage in modified sporting activities, competing in a friendly environment. Elders are also connected to expert advice relating to health and well-being to address their nutritional, physical and recreational needs in the lead up, during and after each event which empowers Elders to live healthily.

There 5 teams made up of Clients of Aboriginal Aged Care Providers in the South East Sydney and Inner West Areas:

• Wyanga Aboriginal Aged Care Program
• Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation
• Guriwal Aboriginal Corporation
• Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) Redfern
• Australian Unity (Aboriginal Branch) Alexandria

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
