June is Seniors Month in Ontario— a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of older adults in our community. This special time is dedicated to honouring seniors and highlighting the important role they play, and played, in shaping our city. Throughout June, older adults are invited to take part in a variety of events, activities, and initiatives that promote well-being, inclusion, and community connection.
Mayor Alex Nuttall proclaimed June 2025 as Seniors Month in Barrie. Celebrating Seniors Month has become our collective way of recognizing seniors' contributions. The City of Barrie’s 55+ Centres encourage our community’s seniors by:
- Offering a variety of recreation, education and active living programs.
- Promoting healthy lifestyles, developing new skills, meeting new people and offering opportunities to be physically, socially and mentally active every day.
