Researchers were at Tapestry at Victoria Harbour last month watching residents while they played pickleball, went kayaking and participated in a cooking demonstration
Researchers studying the joy seniors get out of physical activities such as pickleball were in Victoria last month watching residents from a local seniors’ community at play.
The goal of the research project is to create resources that help promote staying active for life, said Lloyd, a qualitative researcher. Those resources could be used by medical professionals and educators, she said. Tapestry, the only participating seniors’ community in Canada, was chosen for the research because it has consistently topped an awards program recognizing the “best in wellness” through the International Council on Active Aging, said Colin Milner, CEO and founder of the council.
