Community seniors are the pioneers of our century
Community seniors are the pioneers of our century and deserve the upmost respect and recognition. At ARC we interact with seniors in ways that are fun, interesting and helpful through our senior’s programs.
ARC facilitates a Seniors Wellness Centre activity once a week in three locations: Greenfield Park, Chambly and Clarenceville. These activities vary between cognitive, physical, stimulating and are always fun!
Our goal is to help break isolation and support our seniors in ways where life continues to bring them enjoyment.
