Welcome to the Multi-ethnic Bosnian Community Garden in Toronto

New Horizons Community Garden was founded by the members of the Multicultural Association of Bosnian Seniors and their Friends, a non-for profit organization funded by Social Development Canada as a part of the New Horizons for Seniors Program. About Us Our main goals are to empower seniors by giving them a meaningful project to work on and to reduce their feeling of isolation by allowing them to interact with others. They can do this by gardening, participating in educational workshops and attending social gatherings.

In Memoriam

We are all saddened by the passing of Danica Vuckovic, an avid gardener and the member of our Board of Directors for many years. Born on July 1, she always celebrated her birthday together with the Canada Day in the Garden. We will miss her and we will always remember her generosity, her great energy and her fabulous cookies.

This year, the Government of Canada gave us a grant for a new project to promote education and community awareness of the aging process to reduce the risk of isolation amongst Bosnian seniors and friends. This project will include three conferences with topics which are of particular relevance to our senios: (I) Pensions and Retirement Strategies, (II) Recreation and Culture, and (III) Steps toward Sustainability.

Ove godine, Kanadska Vlada nam je odobrila novcana sredstva za novi projekat koji ima slijedecu svrhu: "Promocija edukacije i drustvene spoznaje o procesu starenja da bi se smanjila mogucnost izolacije Bosanskih seniora i njihovih prijatelja". U okviru projekta odrzace se tri konfenencije sa temama od posebnog znacaja za nase starije osobe: (I) Penzije i strategije starenja (II) Rekreacija i kultura, i (III) Koraci prema samoodrzanju.
