ABOUT US

The Guelph Wellington Seniors Association (The GWSA) is an Ontario Not-For-Profit Corporation and a Registered Canadian Charity. Our Mission is to enable older adults to be active, involved, make friends and age with dignity.

TESTIMONIALS

To get out with people and make new friends

It makes me use my brain and I love the camaraderie

Meaningful community involvement and special contact. It helped me to get to know the Guelph community as a newcomer

It is nice to be able to help in the community. It also gives me the opportunity to meet such nice people

I enjoy the social part of it. It gives me a chance to knit cute little items for a good cause

I enjoy singing with the Silvertones and learning new songs. Our “sing outs” at retirement homes take a considerable amount of time (driving and preforming) but are rewarding. Taking part in other performances is fun and challenging

I enjoy doing things for others and trying to make a difference while having fun

It is a terrific way to meet new people and learn new things
