About Us
Welcome to the Central Lions Seniors Association (CLSA). Our aim is to provide a welcoming environment for persons 55 years of age and older by providing opportunities to pursue fitness, mental wellness, art, music, languages, crafts, cards, general interest, pickleball, snooker, stained glass, lapidary, table tennis, and so much more. All this and time to socialize.
CLSA is an independent, not-for-profit formed in 1979. CLSA gained charity status in 1986. Our programs are made available through registration, donations, and general fundraising. We rely on our generous and dedicated volunteers who support our efforts every step of the way.
Older adults of every age, interest, and fitness level will find something to enjoy at CLSA. We invite you to come to CLSA for the programs, and stay for the people!
Our logo was created by talented graphic artist Andrée-Ann Thivierge of Jellyfish Design. The graphic features a prominent lion’s head within a letter C, a reference to the (Central) Lions Club International, our founder. The classic lion profile symbolizes the pride and strength of our community.
