7 Fall Season Activities Your Beloved Senior Will Love in the Yukon
Fall is an amazing time to live in the Yukon. Why? Because there’s so much to do! So if your senior loved one is considering a move to independent living in the Yukon this fall, rest assured that there are plenty of wonderful activities for seniors to enjoy. Here are seven fall season activities your beloved senior will love in the Yukon.
1. Berry Picking
One of the best things about fall in the Yukon is the abundance of wild berries that are ripe for the picking! Need a little guidance? ElderActive is offering a Walk with a Naturalist on August 23, where you can learn all about which berries are safe to eat. The event is free, but you do need to register in advance.
2. Photography
Yukon’s natural beauty is so incredible, you’ll definitely want to capture some photographs to remember it! So take your camera along on all your outdoor adventures this fall. And don’t forget to make a visit to these 6 Stunning Naturescapes. They’re amazing in the fall season!
3. Birdwatching
Fall is an excellent time for birdwatching in the Yukon. Many bird species migrate in the fall, so it’s a perfect time to see them in flight. Alternatively, set up a bird feeder outside your window. Resident species will appreciate having an available food source as the cold weather comes, and you’ll enjoy seeing a variety of birds from the comfort of your favourite cozy chair!
4. Viewing the Northern Lights
Fall is arguably the best time to enjoy the Northern Lights, particularly if you can venture out to one of the Yukon’s many natural bodies of water. That’s because you’ll be able to see the Northern Lights reflected in the water, creating an exceptional sight that you can’t experience at any other time of the year. Don’t forget to go early in the fall, before the lakes freeze, or you’ll have to wait until next year to enjoy this waterfront experience!
5. Becoming a Santa
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a Santa and spreading Christmas cheer to all the little children in your community? Now, you can! The Canada Games Centre is hosting a Santa School this October. Sign up to learn everything you need to know about being a Santa, from how to develop your character to how to handle tricky situations that might come up!
6. Celebrating Special Events
Here in the Yukon, we love a good celebration! And fall is full of them! The International Day of Older Persons, National Family Week, and Halloween Spooktacular are just a few of the events you can look forward to celebrating this fall season in the Yukon.
These are just a few of the many fall activities your beloved senior will love in the Yukon. Remember to check our monthly recreation schedule for fall activities, too! We’re always adding new things to do.
