A Place to Belong — Seniors’ Program in York Region
Maybe you’re looking for people to spend time with. Maybe you want to try something new, stay active, or give back a little. Whatever brought you here, there’s a place for you in our Seniors’ Program. Our staff and volunteers understand your language and your background, and offer everything from quiet one-on-one support to full group activities — online, in person, drop in, or every week, whatever suits you.
Stay Active, Stay Connected
Getting older brings real changes — health, family, sometimes loss. Gentle fitness, stretching, dance, knitting, painting, drawing, yoga — these sessions keep you moving and engaged, and bring you together with people who become genuine friends along the way.

The instructors are to be commended for their passion, dedication, and enthusiasm! Together, they make the classes extremely enjoyable.
Every day, people need to smile — so a social life for newcomer seniors like myself is essential.
