Green Connections for adults 55+ aims to reduce social isolation and build community togetherness among older residents in Oakville through a program of fun, nature-themed events and activities.
Participants will experience the restorative benefits of nature and learn from local experts – horticulturalists, artists, conservationists, and nature-lovers. The program offers a forum for sharing green ideas, learning new skills, and taking action in the community.
We welcome and support the participation of underrepresented groups and individuals of varying backgrounds and abilities in the Green Connections program. If you have any questions about the program, please email Anelia at programs@oakvillegreen.org or call us at 289-813-1568.
