Staying Active
We offer different activities for older adults to keep their minds busy and maintain a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. We offer a variety of recreational programs adjusted to the needs and interests of older adults. We also collaborate with the Gananoque Seniors Association to provide a range of programs that help you stay active, keep learning and stay engaged.
Age-Friendly Community
Between 2021 and 2031, persons aged 55+ will represent one of the fastest growing segments of the population. Over the next decade, the Leeds & Grenville area will be home to approximately 6,000 more residents over the age of 55 with 400 more residents living in Gananoque than there is today.
This Action Plan is intended to formalize the commitments the Town of Gananoque will make over the next decade to build a truly supportive, and inclusive Age-friendly Community.
