Welcome to Seniors PEI, a resource site designed for seniors of Prince Edward Island. Here you will find a wide variety of information for seniors, including links to regional and national and international websites that we believe can be helpful to seniors; websites that provide information about programs, services and areas of interest for seniors and for those who work with seniors.

NEW – CHECK IT OUT IN SENIORS NEWS- The Costa Concordia SlideshowThe Costa Concordia – The Last Journey..13.01.2012An intimate view of the fated cruise ship before her sailing, on board during the tragedy, after her demise, the rescue efforts and views of her final state.

We have news for Canadian seniors: links to current news stories, updated daily, that involve or would be of concern to seniors, focusing on the Maritimes. There is also a senior artist gallery section, showcasing senior artists of the Island. If you area senior artist or know of one who should be featured in this section, please email us at webmaster@seniorspei.ca to let us know. We will contact you or the recommended artist to arrange for their inclusion on our pages.

Two new easy to use photo sections are available to you to show your photos. One is restricted to registered subscribers and images must be approved before they are published. Registration is free, easy and confidential, requiring only a username (which can be a pseudonym) and a valid email address. Subscribers privacy is respected and any information provided is NEVER shared with anyone. This section is photos only, with no commentary or feedback from viewers.

The second photo section is Public Photos, which is open to anyone, allows you to include a description and/or comment with the photo and allows viewers to comment in reply. Photos are not subject to approval before publication but the photo board is monitored to ensure no inappropriate images are posted.

Public Photos also includes a really neat drawing app. Your grandchildren will love it but it’s for artists of all ages. Try it. It’s amazingly simple to use but can produce some fantastic results. Check out some of the examples posted in this section.

Have an upcoming event of particular interest to seniors? Let us know and we will include it on our events page. Be sure to check there for events that may be of interest to you.

Like a bit of fun? Want to stimulate your brain? Need to improve your reflexes? Visit our game room where we have a collection of simple, but sometimes addictive games. The collection is growing as we discover games that we believe will appeal to seniors. The games are chosen by seniors for seniors but all are fun for anyone.

Do you have an opinion on a major (or minor) issue of our time? Express your views on our Viewpoints page. Either express your views on a currently discussed topic, add another, or just exchange ideas, recipes or information.

Know a few funny stories or just want to read some. Visit our Island Humour section to read humourous tales by, for and about islanders (any island) and submit your own.

Seniors PEI is growing. We hope to add a section on the history of PEI where seniors can recount their experiences, and/or the events of the past. Contact us with any ideas for improvement or additions to seniorspei.ca. We would love to hear from you and will do our best to provide services and features that you suggest.

Seniors PEI is offered as a public service of Mapleridge Studio
