County of Brant received $55,000 in funding from the Government of Ontario, to support the launch of a Seniors Active Living Centre in Paris.
The centre, which is scheduled to open in September 2025, will be an inclusive, supportive environment where all seniors can thrive.
“This marks an exciting milestone for the County of Brant,” said David Bailey, Mayor for the County of Brant. “Thank you to the Government of Ontario for this funding. Part of our mission is to enrich the lives of seniors in our community by providing a welcoming space that promotes social connections, physical and mental well-being, and encourages lifelong learning.”
The Seniors Active Living Centre will serve as hub for seniors to connect, stay active, and engage in a variety of programs tailored to their needs and interests. The space will be comfortable, well-maintained, and fully accessible, accommodating individuals of all mobility levels.
“Seniors Active Living Centres are helping to protect the well-being of seniors by providing opportunities to stay connected, active and engaged in their communities. We are honoured to support the County of Brant by creating a welcoming space where seniors can thrive and continue to lead vibrant, fulfilling lives,” said Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility.
A wide range of programs will run at the centre, including:
- Health and wellness activities
- Social and recreational opportunities
- Educational workshops and classes
- Volunteer and community engagement initiatives
“Active seniors are healthy seniors,” said Will Bouma, MPP for Brantford-Brant. “I am pleased to be part of a government that recognizes and appreciates the life-long contributions that seniors have made to our community and province. Looking forward to seeing the new centre soon.”
