Activities for seniors

Staying active as we get older plays an important role in maintaining our physical, mental and cognitive health. Regular activity can reduce the risk of many health conditions, support a healthy weight, and help keep the mind sharp. Just as importantly, taking part in activities with others fosters social connection, helping people feel engaged, supported and part of their community.
