Older Adult Recreation (65+)
Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down. Find a wide range of affordable programs that support active aging, lifelong learning and meaningful social connections — all in one place and right at your fingertips.
Coffee Connections
Sip, learn & connect! Start your mornings with a cup of coffee, good company and a little learning! Coffee Connections brings older adults (aged 55 and older) together for twice-monthly gatherings that mix education with social fun. Thanks to funding from the Ontario government's Seniors Community Grant Program, these FREE sessions cover topics like internet safety and fall prevention, offering practical tips alongside opportunities to meet new people in a relaxed setting. Hosted at some of your local community centres and Vaughan Public Libraries branch locations, these sessions are a great way to connect, stay engaged and be part of Vaughan’s vibrant older adult community. Registration is encouraged.
