Seniors' gatherings

Seniors' gatherings are a great place to make social connections while learning something new! This group for adults 55 and older meets monthly — each gathering focuses on a different theme. Past gatherings have included tips on taking transit, a chocolate-making workshop, meetings with municipal and elected officials, and advice for accessing digital resources.

Seniors' gatherings are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 10 – 11:30 a.m.
