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.
Seniors at Play Programs
Seniors at Play offers a wide variety of programming tailored towards older adults in our community. Examples of current and past activities include:
- Seniors socials
- Table games
- Shuffleboard
- Carpet bowling
- Special Events
- Discussion groups
- Volunteering
We're constantly expanding our programs. Do you want to share your passion with your community? Check out our volunteer section for more information.
