Our Seniors’ Centre is operated in partnership with the Town of Aurora’s Parks and Recreation department. Its success is based on the seniors who volunteer their time and in cooperation with the Town Staff. Our goal is to provide programs, events that will benefit and enrich the lives of older adults.

Computers may be desktops, laptops, or tablets. The Tuesday morning meetings are available to all ASA members. Each meeting is usually focused on a single topic, with a presentation or discussion led by a member of the Club. In addition, we frequently invite outside presenters to address specific technical and equipment topics.
