SALC - Seniors Active Living Centre

Greater Madawaska (55+) Seniors Active Living Program

Mission Statement

The Greater Madawaska (55+) Seniors Active Living Program (SALC) is dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive environment that empowers older adults to lead active, engaged, and fulfilling lives. Through a diverse range of programs, activities, and community connections, we strive to promote physical wellness, social interaction, and lifelong learning.

Our mission is to unite Greater Madawaska as one strong, connected community, ensuring that every senior feels valued, heard, and involved. By providing accessible opportunities for growth, recreation, and meaningful connections, we aim to enhance the overall well-being of our seniors while strengthening the bonds that make our community thrive.

Together, we celebrate aging with purpose, joy, and a shared commitment to building a healthier, more connected Greater Madawaska.
