The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Prince
George
Wilma,
thank
you
Mr
Speaker.
They
are
called
the
Forever
Young
chorus
and
they
are
a
group
of
singers
that
make
you
believe
that,
maybe
just
maybe
you
can
be
young
forever.
The
Prince
George
choir,
led
by
the
Fantastic
Janice
Taylor,
calls
the
Elder
citizens
Recreation
Center
home,
where
they
practice
and
then
perform
their
Community
concerts.
A
The
Forever
Young
chorus,
originally
known
as
the
rainbow
singers,
was
formed
in
1992
when
a
group
of
eight
ladies
with
Elaine
Clark
as
the
accompanist
and
Janice
Taylor
as
the
Director
started
rehearsing
at
the
Elder
citizens,
recreation
center
and
from
there
the
group
went
out
into
the
community
to
entertain
other
seniors.
Since
that
time
the
choir
has
grown
significantly
and
now
includes
men
and
women.
Janice
Taylor
is
still
the
director
and
the
very
talented
and
dedicated
Vic
steblin
is
the
accompanist.
A
The
Forever
Young
chorus
is
a
volunteer,
seniors
choir
and
they
regularly
present
weekend
concerts
in
Prince
George.
Many
of
the
choir
members
have
no
professional
experience
and
some
have
no
experience
at
all,
but
they
love
to
sing
for
the
sheer
Joy
of
it
and
under
Janice's
excellent
leadership.
They
sound
amazing
too.
A
One
of
my
friends,
Kathy
nataline,
told
me
that
the
Forever
Young
chorus
strives
to
present
a
positive
image
of
aging
and
that,
while
they
are
older,
they
don't
feel
old
inside
I
know
that
firsthand,
since
both
my
Mom
and
Dad
loved
their
time
singing
with
the
chorus
and
cherished
the
friendships
that
they
made
this
last
weekend,
the
Forever
Young
chorus
hosted
their
fall
concert.
It
was
full
of
toe-tapping
music
and
even
included
a
couple
of
sing-along
songs.
A
visit
from
Victor
borga,
also
known
as
odeliacrantz,
and
a
recitation
of
the
Train
by
Ingrid
goal.
