“Active Seniors of the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet” is the Township's new program that turns our community halls into welcoming spaces for activities dedicated to people aged 55 and over. These activities are funded by the Government of Ontario, through the Senior Active Living Centre (SALC) program.
