With the sweltering heat and sunshine that comes with a summer in Vernon, it is important that seniors in the retirement community in Vernon find some activities to beat the summer heat. Here are some suggestions for possible activities.

Vernon Public Library

Whether you go in search of a great new book to read, or just a cool place to escape from the heat, the Vernon Public Library is a great place for an escape from senior living in Vernon. The library also has a plethora of events, from knitting groups to games nights, all listed on their calendar. It should definitely be on the top of your to-do list this summer.

Vernon Aquatic Centre 

There is nothing better than a cool pool to escape the blistering heat. With public swim times offered several times daily, escaping the heat with a cool plunge into the water at the Vernon Aquatic Centre is an excellent option. Not only will it help to cool you off, but it is also a great way to get some exercise, while not being tough on your body.

Vernon Public Art Gallery

If you have never been to the Vernon Public Art Gallery, or have not been there for a while, you may enjoy taking a look at the current exhibitions. With new exhibitions always coming through, each trip is a new adventure with new paintings and art to behold. There are also the occasional events, so make sure to keep an eye on the Art Gallery calendar.

Shopping Center

If you are just seeking a cool place, to walk around and just relax, nothing beats a trip to a shopping centre. You do not have to be shopping for anything, or even buy something, to just enjoy a leisurely stroll around the shopping mall.

This summer, make sure that you beat the heat by taking part in some of these great senior activities.
