Exciting changes to our Seniors Services membership!
Unlimited access to our Seniors Services drop-in programs* has been added to current or new memberships effective July 2, 2024.
Based on feedback from our members, Seniors Services Advisory Committees, and Seniors Services Policy and Review Board, we eliminated the $1 program fee for Seniors Services drop-in programs and moderately increased the annual membership fees (taxes included) as follows:
- $56 for 50-79 years old
- $28 for 80-89 years old
- Free for 90+ years old
*This includes unlimited access to Seniors Services drop-in activities only. This does not include special events, trips, pre-registered programs, or any other activities where more than $1 is charged. Please note that a Seniors Services membership is still required to register for any seasonal programming offered by Seniors Services.
Non-residents are charged an additional $10 on membership purchases.
Except for pickleball, walk-ins are welcome as space permits. If you pre-book, you must arrive within 15 minutes of the program start time or your spot may be offered to those waiting.
You can be added to the waitlist for a program that is full if the option is available. If a spot opens for that activity or additional sessions are added in advance, you will be contacted by email. If you do not respond within 48 hours, your spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist.
