The Vacation Plus Program is a city wide program of organized activities and events including social, recreational, cultural and educational events for active adults and seniors aged 50 and older.

Quality of Life" is the focus of the Vacation Plus philosophy and purpose. Vacation Plus counters loneliness, isolation and depression by offering a choice of planned activities for older adults.

Members have the opportunity to meet new people and to participate in enjoyable organized events. Monthly events include day trips, theatre, luncheons and much more.

The Objectives

There are many older adults who are recently widowed, retired, or lonely, and would like to be active, healthy and informed, but need help to do this. 

Vacation Plus provides group support and encourages the individual person to become involved. Vacation Plus is a preventative program that assists older people to remain active and healthy in their own homes. Vacation Plus provides the means to make full use of community resources that challenge older adults' capabilities and stimulate their minds.

The Method

Prior to the beginning of each month, Vacation Plus members receive a calendar of events describing each activity in full detail. Members plan their own social itinerary for the month by choosing from a variety of  entertaining and informative events to participate in.

Vacation Plus offers over 100 events each year, covering a large range of interests. Examples include excursions to the Royal Ontario Museum, Roy Thomson Hall events, Famous People Players, Boat Cruises, Autumn Colour Tours, etc.
