Niagara Older Adult Alliance (NOAA) Spring 2026 Meeting
Join us in person for the 2026 Lunch & Learn Meeting!

It’s a great chance to connect, share ideas, and learn more about supporting our older adult community right here in Niagara. Whether you're a member or just curious, come along and be part of the conversation.
