workshops on topics relevant to seniors, such as stress management, elder abuse, healthy living, volunteering, and financial matters.
outings to places of interest, such as the Aga Khan Museum, the ROM, and Niagara Falls
peer support groups where seniors can meet and share their ideas and stories, give and receive support to each other and share resources.
diverse events where seniors come to learn and engage with others.
