Older Adults & Seniors Program
Aimed at adults aged 55+ this program offers a selection of activities to choose from each week. Activities are designed to create social connections, keep people active, promote life long learning and have fun. Some, like Games and Spanish Language lessons happen on a regular schedule. Other activities change from month to month based on what people are looking for. Staff can also make check-in calls and provide referrals to other services.
Some program fees apply and subsidies are available – please speak to the Seniors Coordinator for details.
