Green Connections for adults 55+ aims to reduce social isolation and build community togetherness among older residents in Oakville through a program of fun, nature-themed events and activities.
Participants will experience the restorative benefits of nature and learn from local experts – horticulturalists, artists, conservationists, and nature-lovers. The program offers a forum for sharing green ideas, learning new skills, and taking action in the community.
Participants will:
- Enjoy time outdoors at guided nature-based events
- Have fun and make new social connections (in-person or virtually!)
- Share ideas and make new nature discoveries
- Help to create a vibrant, healthy Oakville
Join today to be part of a connected and engaged 55+ green community.
