Do you know someone who would benefit from our Friendship Luncheon Program for seniors?

Openings are currently available in the Friendship Luncheon Program run by the Seniors Centre in Oakville for isolated seniors ages 80+.

Participants are picked up at their homes once a week by volunteer drivers and brought to the centre closest to their home for lunch, an exercise program, games and social time. All participants pay a nominal fee, must be able to tolerate a regular diet and walk independently (with the use of a cane or walker).

Call one of these centres for more information:

Check out our Aquatic Bone and Joint Therapeutic Care programs!

Programs available for 18+ and older adults.

Exercising in warm water helps to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation while increasing circulation. Learn movements to improve your balance, range of motion, posture and to help speed recovery from injuries and surgeries.

Aquatic Bone and Joint Therapeutic Care 18+ is offered at Glen Abbey Community Centre. Iroquois Ridge Community Centre is offering Aquatics Bone and Joint Therapeutic Care 50+.
