who we are
Led by a Board of Directors, Whitecappers work in a collaborative fashion, bringing forward ideas to continually improve senior well-being in Chestermere. Aside from enjoying what Whitecappers can offer, you can contribute as a volunteer and board member.
Wondering About Our Name?
With the creation of a Senior Centre 35 years ago, the founding members believed that the
age of 50+ was a fine age to begin membership.
The “Whitecappers” addition refers of course to Chestermere Lake, where on those windy days
the waves are tipped with whitecaps and a few members have some white in their hair.
