The Lumby Seniors Internet began in September 1997 with funding from the Ministry of Women's Equality, Vernon Foundation and Seniors Lottery.

A computer donated by longtime Lumby resident Rosemary Deuling was upgraded and since that time many seniors regularly engage in surfing the "net and sending e-mail to friends and family.

The Seniors Internet is located in the lounge at Saddle Mountain Place, the Lumby Seniors residence. In a rural setting but located in town, it's a great place to live with many conveniences and within walking distance of all amenities.

It is run by a volunteer board with input from the residents' committee. There is a "Drop-In" held on a number of days every week with many activities to keep life stimulating. There are many attractions and activities to satisfy all interests, with the Okanagan Valley, Arrow Lakes and Shuswap nearby.

Lumby seniors have a great variety of options available to them and there are numerous organization sin town in which to be involved, such as the Royal Canadian Legion, Lumby Lions, Women's Institute, Old Age Pensioners, and Pythian Sisters, to name but a few.

There are continually different events in which to participate and in recent months there have been a number of locally organized day trips which are always well attended, like a run on the Kettle Valley Railway and a cruise on the old stern wheeler, The Fintry Queen.
