Recreation and fitness
Stay active with programs designed for older adults. The Ambrel Lake Recreation Centre features a dedicated older adults' lounge where you can meet neighbours, play games, and attend scheduled workshops. You can also join drop-in fitness classes at the Tamsin Valley Leisure Centre or the Northgate Aquatic Centre. Gentle movement and aquatic classes are available year-round.

Home and neighbourhood support
Keep your property safe through the winter. The City clears residential streets when snow reaches eight centimetres, but you are responsible for clearing your sidewalks and driveways. Failure to shovel can result in fines under the Snow clearing and sidewalk plowing winter maintenance by-law. If you need help shoveling, ask your neighbours or check local community boards for volunteer helpers.
