How far will you go? Fast or slow doesn’t matter.
Non-Competitive Walking –Walking is good medicine! It builds “staying power” and improves heart and circulatory system health, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of stroke. Walking on a regular basis can significantly improve your quality of life. Even a few minutes of walking per day can get you on the road to improved health.
What better venue for a nice walk than our hallways? For fun and fitness on the opening day of the Seniors Games, we’ve got a full kilometre marked out for anyone wanting to go the distance (special recognition for the distances completed). Encourage your neighbours, meet the water table VIPs, and exchange “There’s no place like home…” sayings. With live music to keep you motivated, you might even find yourself dancing your way through the halls!
Participants receive a complimentary t-shirt to wear during the week and ribbons to display their badges of completion.
Boulez-Vous? The first National Medal rolls into the Seniors Games with Pétanque.
Bean Bag Toss –Relax, get social, and feel the satisfaction of watching the bean bag slide home. There’s never a dull moment. A simple game with big benefits, tossing a simple bean bag is an effective means of exercising your body and maintaining motor skills. By aiming at a target, hand-eye coordination and throwing skills are put to the test.
Pétanque – This low impact sports requires concentration and strategy. Also known as boules, the traditionally French social sport encourages camaraderie and gets you moving. A wonderful centerpiece to any camp or social gathering, the goal of the game is for each team to get the most boules closest to the but/cochon.
The aim of the game is to be the first player/team to score thirteen points. Points are scored by having one or more of your boules closer to the target than those of your opponent, after all boules have been thrown.
Medals – Local Gold, Silver & Bronze medals will be presented in each Residence at a special presentation end of day. All medalists will be entered in the national finals with the top three in the nation receiving National Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals during Closing Ceremonies.

Ladder Ball / Golf – It’s said that early games used 2 golf balls joined by a string. Whether you know it as ladder ball, horsey golf, monkey ball, or ball rope, Ladder Golf is fun and easy to play! The object of the game is to wrap your two balls attached by string (bolas), at a target called the ladder. The ladder consists of 3 steps, a top, middle and a bottom step.

Cornhole – Cornhole addicts around the world know that there’s a lot more to cornhole than just chucking a bean bag at a slanted board and into a hole.
