Free senior’s recreation memberships and Springfest Lunch and Expo coming to Brampton
Published May 29, 2024 at 3:54 pm
The city is celebrating its golden anniversary in 2024 and Senior’s Month in June by inviting Brampton seniors to learn more about available services and free recreation passes.
Brampton is holding its 50th anniversary this year with events and promotions, including offering free Brampton Recreation passes for Senior’s Month with access to over 70 activities including fitness centre memberships, aquafit drop-in classes, dance programs and sports.
The city is also hosting the Springfest Lunch and Expo next month for seniors to learn about programs and services available in Brampton. The event will run at the Century Gardens Recreation Centre and will feature a buffet-style lunch, music, singing, dancing and entertainment provided by a live DJ.
Brampton Mayor Patrick called seniors “the backbone of our community” and said the free passes and events are “a token of (Brampton’s) appreciation.”
The new senior’s fitness initiative is an expansion of the city’s free swim, skate and walking track memberships offered to seniors 70 years old and up, but with many more options for users to choose from.
Free passes are available to Brampton residents who are 70 years old or older. Seniors will need to provide proof of residency in Brampton like a driver’s licence or a letter with a home address, proof of identity and age.
