CHATS- Community & Home Assistance to Seniors is excited to introduce a NEW Annual Signature Event called The Amazing Adventure. This is the first time this type of event has ever been hosted in York Region & South Simcoe. The event is being held on October 15^th.

The Amazing Adventure is an event in support of CHATS, where families, friends, businesses, and community groups will gather in teams in search of various checkpoints around the York Region and South Simcoe area.

We would like to introduce and thank our presenting sponsors Vaughan Chrysler and Dilawri Group for their support of The CHATS Amazing Adventure. We would also like to welcome and thank our sponsors Market Brewing Company, Chartwell Residences of York Region, Magna International, Main Street Realty Limited, Central York Fire Services, Goblets & Goblins Game Lounge, Harvey’s, The Flood Brothers Amazing Adventures, Neighbour Media, and 105.9 The Region.

“I’ve had so much fun in past car rallies for CHATS that I signed up right away for this new format,” said previous participant Sylvie Lessard. “It’s a great way to spend the day with friends, and bring attention to an important organization that is an integral part of our community.”

“I am so excited about CHATS’ The Amazing Adventure and look forward to welcoming everyone and kicking it off at 9:30 a.m. October 15^th!”, said Aurora Mayor, Tom Mrakas.

Buckle up for an epic adventure, unravel puzzles, complete challenges, and fill your passport to victory honouring our in-home heroes! The event will begin at the CHATS Head Office located in Aurora, Ontario, and finish at Market Brewing Company in Newmarket, Ontario. This is a highly anticipated event which is bound to add great memories and fun challenges to all participants.

“Seniors have been combatting the impacts of social isolation long before the pandemic,” says Christina Bisanz, CEO of CHATS. “Fundraisers like the Amazing Adventure helps CHATS to provide older adults with programs and services that enable them to live well, independently and with dignity in their own communities,” she noted.
