About the South Granville Seniors Centre
The South Granville Seniors Centre has been serving older adults since 1979. Many of our members live alone or without strong support networks, and the Centre provides a vital community hub where people can form friendships, stay active, and access programs that support healthy and independent living. Our work is supported by more than one hundred sixty volunteers who contribute thousands of hours each year. Their dedication helps ensure that we can continue to offer meals, activities, cultural programs, and community events for local seniors. The Holiday Party is both a celebration and a reflection of the vibrant community that thrives within our Centre.
