The Town of Oakville's top priority continues to be the health and safety of the community and town staff. There is a comprehensive recovery process in place that aligns with the province's gradual phased-in approach. As provincial guidelines are updated, the town will continue to look for opportunities to expand programming in a safe and responsible manner.

Know a senior looking for ways to get engaged and stay connected?
COVID-19 may prevent us from gathering together
in person, but it won't stop our community from connecting when we need to most. The Town of Oakville is offering free and interactive programs for seniors and older adults 50+. If you have a family member, friend or neighbour who may be lonely, reach out to tell them about our Senior Centres Without Walls program, a series of 30 to 60-minute multi-person phone conversations covering various topics like trivia, travel, meditation, health, and more.
