Our Mission
The mission of New Horizons Centre is to provide a Centre with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for the senior members of the community where they will have the opportunity to participate in the recreational and social activities and have access to information and support services related to senior’s issues.
Our Vision
At New Horizons, our vision is to create a vibrant and inclusive community that empowers seniors to lead fulfilling lives. We believe that aging is a journey of discovery, and we strive to provide a supportive environment that encourages seniors to explore new opportunities, connect with others, and continue to grow and learn. Our goal is to enhance the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our members by offering a range of programs and services that promote independence, creativity, and lifelong learning. We envision a future where seniors at New Horizons can thrive in a safe, welcoming space that fosters personal growth and community engagement.

Want to be a Volunteer?
The success of our Centre would not be possible without the on-going support of volunteers and members!
Although we have heard many times “I’m too young to come to a senior centre”, those who have ventured to come here to see what we are all about - find that we are all a very “young” group of seniors who thoroughly enjoy our schedule of events and always come back again and again.
