411 Seniors Centre Society
411 Seniors Centre provides seniors-led programs and services that mobilize older adults' diverse strengths, talents, interests and expertise to the benefit of fellow older adults and the community, and in collaboration with like-minded organizations.
Our Income Tax Clinic is largely volunteer-run, and we are especially excited to welcome new volunteers this year. Their dedication, combined with the thoughtful coordination and guidance of our Seniors' Services Manager, allows us to continue providing essential tax support to seniors aged 55+ and individuals with disabilities in our community. This program plays a vital role in helping participants access the benefits and credits to which they are entitled, and we are deeply grateful for the teamwork and commitment that make this important service possible. ![]()

Thanks to the time and talents of our volunteers, we raised almost $500. It was a great way to be a part of the fun and spirit of the season! (Santa stopped by to say hi.)

Our donor talked about their mother (pictured below with her good friend). "My mother was fortunate to have good support in her later years, but she also understood what it meant to struggle, as she had earlier in her life. During difficult times, she was always very grateful for the help she received from others--whether for her physical or emotional needs, and she always tried to give back when she could."![]()
