Active Seniors of the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet 

“Active Seniors of the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet” is the Township's new program that turns our community halls into welcoming spaces for activities dedicated to people aged 55 and over. These activities are funded by the Government of Ontario, through the Senior Active Living Centre (SALC) program.

The program takes place in The Township's six community halls and aims to promote a healthy lifestyle, encourage social participation and personal development for older adults.
