Healthy active aging is a goal we all share in making Toronto a vibrant city.
A listing of over 120 free, high-quality recreation, active living, and culture online virtual activities to enjoy from home. Many activities are specifically for seniors (you can search or sort by “Senior” or “Older Adult”) and include language classes, men’s groups, book club, fitness and yoga, discussion groups, dance, and many more free activities.
Seniors (60+) are entitled to a fifty per cent discount on the cost of recreation programs. Many recreation centres and programs have been modified due to COVID-19.
