Seniors and Older Adults

Programs and Services

Welcome!

We have a wide variety of recreational programs and activities for getting involved and staying active. It is our goal for all seniors to have equitable access to recreational opportunities for socializing, for maintaining and improving health and mobility and to inform about services and resources. To accomplish this, your local community centre and staff work with seniors to provide opportunities to participate in a variety of programs, social events, health and wellness programs and cultural activities. Join us and enjoy yourself!

Leisure Access Card Program

The Leisure Access Card (LAC) Program is for Vancouver residents whose limited income may prevent them from participating in basic Park Board recreation programs and services. Seniors with a Ministry Transit Pass can apply directly at any community centre for their photocard or make an application with proof of low income.
