Keeping Active

Adult programs will look different this year, but have been designed to offer the highest levels of quality, safety and a wide range of activities in the remaining weeks of the fall. Program and program times will be standardized to one hour to allow for deep cleaning routines between activity periods. Learn more about our programs.

TelePALS provides free over the phone discussion, social and learning programs for adults. Participants can join in Chat Groups, Listen and Learn, Game Shows, Ask the Expert or Listen for Enjoyment programs. Learn more about TelePALS.

Age Friendly Burlington

An age-friendly community benefits people of all ages. Neighbourhoods where residents feel connected and secure are safe for older adults. Families experience less worry when their older relatives have access to the services and community supports they need. Barrier-free buildings and streets enhance the mobility and independence of all individuals including those with disabilities.
