Older Adults Club

The Town of Arnprior is thrilled to create the Older Adults Club as a new membership based recreation project. Thanks to grant funding from the Province of Ontario's Seniors Community Programming Grant, seniors can access a variety of active and social programs while receiving $1.00 off many popular programs. 

This project spans September 2025 through March 2026 and can be accessed through a monthly fee of $10.

Preschool Explorers

Do you have a little one aged 2–4 years old? We’d love to welcome them to our Preschool Explorers Program starting next Monday, September 8th. 

Preschool Explorers is designed to give young children a chance to play, create, move, and connect with other kids in a fun and supportive setting. Each session includes activities like arts and crafts, music and dance, active play, story time, and more!

This program is a wonderful opportunity for your child to:

• Build social skills

• Explore new activities in a safe space
• Enjoy a fun introduction to group play and routines
• Gain independence with some time away from parents

Program Dates: Mondays & Wednesdays from 10am - 12pm

Program Location: Nick Smith Centre - Community Hall
