Expo 55+ rotates throughout the community—having been held in Almonte last year and planned for Pakenham next year. This rotation helps build continuity and encourages residents to anticipate the event each year. It also highlights the strong sense of collaboration across our communities and our commitment to working together.
You’ll find information and inspiration in three key areas: Your Health – wellness, nutrition, fitness, and care. Your Home – safety, comfort, and support for aging in place. Your Community – services, social connection, and engagement
Wondering How to Stay Safe, Savvy, and Prepared? Throughout the day, there will be a series of short, informative presentations on topics that matter to the 55+ community—everything from fraud prevention and personal safety to emergency preparedness and even a few tech tips. It’s a great opportunity to hear from local experts and take away helpful, practical information. No need to register—just drop in and enjoy!
