New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) “Seniors Measure Up !”
This program provides opportunities to improve seniors’ health and well-being.
The ACER Seniors Measure UP program will include local hands-on learning activities outdoors and indoor digital learning experiences.
Outdoors: seniors can become mentors and tree stewards in their local parks and learn to understand and report on tree health and growth over 3 seasons.
Indoors: the winter opportunities will be through remote learning and join in topics chosen together.
June 17 will be the first day in the field – please email for more details on how to volunteer.
Education and training to track the success of tree species is the key to all of ACER programs. www.acer-acre.ca

Come out to see the “We are Resilient” exhibit – a travelling exhibition that was recently installed at St. Lawrence Park. The exhibit is designed to engage residents, and help us learn more about climate change and actions we can take to help combat it.
This exhibition has already travelled to Community Common Park, City Hall, and UTM and will stay at St. Lawrence Park until August 7, 2023.
Take in the exhibit while you stroll along beautiful Lake Ontario. The exhibit showcases compelling photographs and stories from Mississauga residents, perspectives from international scientific leaders, and ways you can take climate action today!
