Regina
Kiwanis Clubs began this program in 1966.
Thirty-nine
years later, members of the Kiwanis Club of Regina still alternate
with members of the Kiwanis Club of Wascana to bring rehabilitative
recreation to resident patients of the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.
Every
Wednesday after supper (except in summer), Kiwanians wheel 15 to
20 severely disabled patients from their rooms down to the little
bowling alley that has been created in the hospital by Kiwanis and
staff of the hospital recreation department.
Patients
are divided into two teams for five pin bowling. They are assisted
to aim small bowling balls on metal ramps and roll them down the
lanes: Strike! Spare! Good Try! Everyone has a good time. Many bowlers
are quite expert. Some have bowled a perfect game!
