Opportunities at work or regarding your status may arise; you may hear unexpectedly good news. It’s a good week to dig deep and use your inner resourcefulness to research and configure plans for the future that help to provide a solid base for growth and security.

A lovely get-together or activity will be refreshing. It’s a good weekend for socialising. If you must make a tough decision, look at the personal as well as the financial cost. Unexpected news could brighten up your week, but you must avoid rushing into agreements.

You have the gift of the gab, but when someone’s ideas are contrary to yours, it’s to your benefit to be patient and base communications on facts to avoid misunderstandings. You’ll enjoy a get-together this weekend, or news from afar, so be sure to socialise.

15 March 2023 Exhibition Park In Canberra (EPIC)

COTA ACT’s Seniors Expo in Autumn will be held at EPIC on Wednesday 15 March 10am-3.30pm. It’s our first major event for the year and we’re putting on a showcase that will present the very best in senior living here in Canberra.

With 136 stalls, a variety of musical performances, a green hub and hobby hub to explore, competitions, giveaways and much more, seniors, their friends, families and carers are invited to make a day of it, with food and beverages available for purchase and plenty of café-style seating to rest and relax in.

Radio station Mix 106.3 will be broadcasting live at the event, and ActewAGL will host a Smart Energy hub where Expo patrons can learn about green energy and even test drive one of their electric vehicles!

Services Australia and Western Union will be running special stalls with information on scam awareness, and the COTA ACT team will be there to help with all enquiries small and large. You can even apply for a Seniors Card or become a member of our organisation. Or stop by just to have a chat – we’d love to meet you!

We’ll also have no less than four of our local politicians checking in on Expo day, to speak with Expo visitors and learn more about what matters to the senior community of Canberra.

Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) is located on Flemington Road in Mitchell, and there is plenty of free parking, as well as disability parking, available to Expo patrons. Transport Canberra and Canberra Metro are also providing free travel on light rail and bus to all Seniors Card holders, with shuttles bringing Expo patrons right up to the door. Entry is by gold coin donation and the Expo will have volunteers on hand to help people get the very best out of their Expo experience.

For more information about our Seniors Expo in Autumn, please phone the COTA ACT office on (02) 6282 3777 or visit our website: www.cotaact.org.au
