WHAT IS THE YOUR PASSPORT TO WELLBEING PROJECT?

Your Passport to Wellbeing is a FREE 12-week program consisting of 52 activities for seniors to improve their physical strength, mental health and social wellbeing. The activities will be led by a mix of paid instructors and Senior Ambassador Volunteers, ranging from active living, social programs, educational workshops, to field trips. Through trying out these different activities first hand, seniors will discover their own path to wellbeing. Your Passport to Wellbeing is funded by Employment and Social Development Canada under its New Horizons for Seniors Program.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

We have adopted the inclusive definition of seniors from the New Horizons Program - anyone who is 55 and over are welcome to participate. Most activities are senior friendly and accessible to all abilities, with a few exceptions. These details will be program specific and listed in the Passport next to each program and its description. Considerations have been taken to offer programs that accommodate seniors’ different physical capabilities.
