Choir helps immigrant seniors belong

Meet the the 4-11 Multicultural Seniors’ Choir. Once a week, 32 members – ranging in age from 55 to 92 – come together at a downtown seniors’ drop-in center in Vancouver to sing. English is the common language, but the seniors don’t mind trying out all kinds of tunes. This choir is only a few years old, but its become about much more than music. As Karen Moxley, found out this weekly gathering is about creating a community.
