My mother-in-law absolutely loves the Seniors Active Living Centre! It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The community is incredibly friendly, the instructors are wonderful, and Anthony does a fantastic job organizing a wide variety of programs. There’s something engaging happening every weekday, making it a fantastic place for seniors to stay active, social, and connected. It’s also very affordable—just $40 a year to attend most of the programs—making it accessible to everyone. This is such an important program, and we’re so thankful to have found it.

Seniors Active Living Center is truly a wonderful place in the community for seniors to connect and stay active. It’s very welcoming and offers a variety of activities such as exercise, yoga (including chair and laughing yoga), chair Zumba, dancing, movies, knitting, bingo, information sessions, and more. There is also a weekly mood walk at Birkdale Ravine and lunches at different restaurants in the community. You can come every day if you want—all for just $40 a year!

Anthony is the program director and does an amazing job. He makes everyone feel welcome, and the programs are great.

Thank you, Anthony, all the instructors, and all the wonderful people we have met there. We’re truly grateful to have found this place and to have met so many wonderful people.

In November 2023, I joined SCHC Seniors Active Living Centre to brush up on my knitting and crochet skills. Since then, I have been participating weekly in laughing yoga and movies. I also attended information sessions; the government dental program, summer gardening as well as other sessions that are of interest to me. Coming to SCHC weekly has made a significant difference in my retirement, so far. SCHC has given me the opportunity to get up and leave the house to network with other seniors.
I compliment Anthony, the program coordinator at SCHC for his professionalism in organizing the sessions and field trips. He takes time to listen and is very helpful in providing detailed information for the different programs.
I highly recommend seniors/retirees to visit the Centre to network.

I became involved in the crafts/knitting group at Pine Trees (which transferred into SCHC) after the passing of my mother of whom I was one of her caregivers. The friendly atmosphere and comraderie of the group filled my empty space and soothed my grief.
I have been going to SCHC for over 15 years and have enjoyed the many activities, events and trips provided by SCHC/ALC.
I thank Anthony, the program coordinator, for his diligence and commitment in organizing these events. He has done an excellent job. He is friendly, caring and listens well. He has to listen to all of our complaints and stories and does it with equinamity. Very professional.

I am involved in the mood walking group, and thoroughly enjoy the walk and the company. We build strength, and great relationships. The walk relaxes me and I feel more in tune with life and able to stay active and perform my day to day activities.
