Travel News Update
The Celtic Tenors Christmas Trip,
Thursday, December 11th, 2025.
We have good news: we have secured our own bus to take us directly to the venue. The bad news is that it is still an Activity Coach. The company Hammond has stated that they do not use the lowering function in the winter months due to the risk of freezing.
We also need to guarantee 20 passengers for this trip to proceed, and we are currently at 11 travellers. Cost is $219.00 per person, pick up at Bayshore 8:30 am, Elmvale 8:45 am. Driving directly to Myra’s Bar and Grill inside the Best Western, followed by a matinee of the Celtic Tenors at the Sanderson Centre. The show finishes at approx. 4:30 pm, and your return would be around 7:30 pm.
We need to know if those who were interested and signed up will still be attending. For anyone else who would like to go, please get in touch with us. We will need to know by the general meeting on October 14th, 2025, as we must inform the agency to book our tickets, etc. Otherwise, this trip will be cancelled.

Garden Shed Cleaned Up
Karen and Don W, Micheline M, and Scott L. cleaned up the Garden Shed last week.
There may be something interesting at the back of the building that you can find among the items they are getting rid of. Some items are a large pot with a lid, a bowling game, hoses, and a few tools.

Wonderful Bid Euchre Party
Huge Thank You,
Elaine W, Lidia T, and Scott L
Everyone had a wonderful time. The pizza was spot on—the members made a variety of salads. And the pies that Judy H. made were to die for. Outstanding, Yum!
We started our game around 6:30 after cleanup. Everyone was really enjoying themselves. They had a great turnout. I didn’t count, but I would say somewhere between 35 to 40 bid euchre players.
And if that wasn’t enough, as we are leaving a fun evening, Helen M. is handing out her famous raisin and pecan butter tarts. Two to a package. We can never get enough. Delicious! Thank you!
If anyone has any pictures, please send them to me at info@bayshoreseniors.ca. Thank you!
If you haven’t tried Bid Euchre, come out and give it a try.
You may learn something new, and find you enjoy it!
TUESDAY NIGHTS AT 6:30 PM

Or Maybe Two Trips!
THE SANDERSON CENTRE IN BRANTFORD presents
The Celtic Tenors:
‘A Celtic Christmas’
Thursday, December 11th, 2025
Celebrate the holiday season with the most successful crossover act to emerge from Ireland. These world-class artists will perform holiday classics that will have the audience smiling into the season with uplifting harmonies.
Their international presence and truly unique sound have led them to sell over a million albums worldwide. The skill, range and ability of these world-class tenors, combined with the personality and fun of genuine performers, will bring holiday cheer to all. Expect three unique solo voices, but on tenor sound!
Before the 2:00 pm matinee, enjoy a Buffet Luncheon at Myra’s Grill inside the Best Western Hotel (Roast Beef, Potatoes, Vegetables, Pasta, an Assortment of Salads, Freshly Baked Bread, Chef’s Choice of Dessert, plus Tea/Coffee).
Priced as follows,
With a minimum of 15 people: $244.00pp
With a minimum of 17 people: $234.00pp
With a minimum of 20 people: $222.00pp
At this time, an “Activity Coach” is being provided for pick up at Bayshore/Elmvale to take you to the Islington Subway station to meet the leading coach. As you can see, the more that wish to go, the lower the price becomes. It would be nice if we could have our own coach and go directly to the venue, and that is something we have asked the tour company for, but at this time, we do not have an answer.
We have requested a regular coach for pickup, as the “Activity Coach” is difficult to access for those with mobility issues.
The price increase from the original brochure is added by the bus line, Hammond.
Your Travel Committee is working hard for you, the members.
Please get in touch with us if you are interested in joining the fun!

Is Your Smart TV Spying on YOU!
How to know if your smart TV is spying on you
I came across this article that I thought you might be interested in. It certainly scared me!
Have you ever wondered how smart TVs are so much more affordable than they used to be? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that the TV companies are just being nice. The real reason is that smart TVs harvest your data and sell it to third parties.
Whenever you watch a show, download a movie, or buy a new game, your TV is watching you. It collects, processes, and sends that information right back to the TV company so it can be sold to advertisers.
And even worse than that, smart TVs can be vulnerable to hacking by cybercriminals, who can use your TV’s camera and microphone to record you without your knowledge.
I put this guide together to help you take control over how your TV is using your information, prevent smart TV cyber threats, and improve your overall privacy.
