About Abrigo Centre
At the Abrigo Centre we’re dedicated to transforming lives and strengthening the community. Our diverse programming enriches seniors’ lives through education, recreation and wellness activities.
Participants in the Life and Hope group thrive on the sense of community they’ve developed over the 15 years of its existence. Each day a fascinating microcosmic world unfolds, one where social isolation is reduced, emotional connections are made and over time, grow. It’s a place where continuous educational learning takes center stage, thoughts and feelings are supported, healing and purpose develop through art, music and physical activity and where cognitive exploration is fostered.
Program leadership is constantly engaging and communicating with participants, fostering a community that supports each other and where Abrigo itself is always the reliable helping hand extended to all in need of support. This reassures our clients that they are never alone, they are a valued member of the community and they will always have a place in the Life and Hope program.
