The Plan
To provide seniors in Orillia with age friendly recreation programs, virtually and in-person. Seniors at Play programs are hosted in the Orillia Room at Rotary Place (100 University Avenue). In-person programming is currently on hold until provincial restrictions are lifted.
Our Goals
- Preventing senior isolation in our community.
- Promoting physical activity and social engagement.
- Providing opportunities to build new relationships and eliminate barriers to participation in recreation activities by creating a safe space.
