BINGO! Our Most Popular Event for Eldersš¤©
June 19 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Get your daubers ready for the most anticipated event of the week! The Kanakaa’tsinom Elder’s Centre invites you to BINGO, a high-energy afternoon of fun, laughter, and community connection. This isn’t just a game; it’s a celebration, making it one of the most popular Indigenous seniors activities in Calgary. If you’re looking for excitement and a chance to connect with wonderful people, you’ve found it!
Feel the Thrill, Share the Fun!
The energy in the room is absolutely electric as the numbers are called and cards start to fill up. Will you be the next one to leap up and shout B-I-N-G-O? Join in the friendly competition, test your luck, and you might just walk away with a fantastic prize. While winning is a thrill, the real prize is the time spent together. This weekly event is a cornerstone of our community, a place where friends are made, stories are shared, and new memories are created over the satisfying blot of a bingo dauber.
We are proud to offer fun and engaging Indigenous seniors activities in Calgary that nourish the spirit and create lasting bonds. This event is a guaranteed afternoon of smiles and good times. To see what other programs we offer, please visit the main Kanakaa’tsinom Elder’s Centre page.
A Friendly Tip: This event fills up FAST! We highly recommend arriving early to get your favourite seat, grab your cards, and visit with friends before the first number is called. You won’t want to miss a moment of the action!
