About Us

Today and in the Future

Life After Fifty (LAF) is a charitable, non-for-profit, organization and designated Seniors Active Living Centre providing activities for adults fifty and over.  We have been a consistent source of seniors programming in our community since 1962.  Regular weekly programs fall under three core categories: Health and Wellness (“Be fit!”), Skills Development and Hobbies (“Be well!”), and Personal Connections (“Be social!”).   

We have two Active Living Centres in the City of Windsor that offer 40+ regularly scheduled programs each week. Our West Side Centre (WSC) is located on McEwan Avenue and our East Side Centre (ESC) is located inside The WFCU Centre on McHugh Street. Both facilities meet convenience and wellness standards, including: street-level locations for accessibility, offers free parking, on a bus route, and bike racks. The Membership fee is $10/ month, (or $120/ year) and this includes access to all of our programs. Non-members are welcome to come in to eat at the LAF Cafe. 
 
Our agency provides Community Support Services including friendly visiting, telephone assurance, foot care and home maintenance supports to at-risk older adults living at home. These services are designed to prevent social isolation and other health and mental health issues that seniors experience, and keep seniors living at home safely and independently for as long as possible. 

Life After Fifty is always working to meet the need of seniors in our community.  As we move forward, we will continue to evaluate our services to ensure that we remain accessible, relevant and beneficial to our valued members and the community. 

Vision: Leading the way to vibrant and healthy lives.
Mission: Enriching the lives of older adults by providing opportunities to be fit, well and social!
Values: Inclusivity, Responsibility, Self-determination, Collaboration.

• “The reason I’m now in a happy state of mind is because of Life After Fifty. I have a new purpose in life, a reason to get up and dressed in the morning.”
• “I now come to the Centre 2-4 times a week. I haven’t been this happy in years.”
