The Life Activities Clubs

Each Life Activities Club is a non profit community group run by its members on a voluntary basis.

 

A Life Activities Club provides support for its members as they experience life-changing events such as retirement or moving into a new area, and as they pursue an active and enjoyable lifestyle. A major avenue for this support is the club’s program of leisure, educational, personal development and social activities, arranged to meet the needs of its members.
