Serving Our Seniors
McLeod Community League is for 55+ too!
Join us and meet some more of your neighbours! McLeod Community League is a non-profit, volunteer group that provides multi-generational programming, activities and events for our diverse neighbourhoods.
Comprised of 18,000 people living in the communities of McLeod, Matt Berry/McLeod Park, Hollick-Kenyon, Miller, and Casselman, we offer year-round opportunities for active living and socializing with neighbours.

Membership provides free access to a large rec centre on Saturdays (track, fitness equipment, pool, sauna, hot tub), and some swim times at Londonderry, O’Leary and Grand Trunk pools.
Seniors are also welcome to fill a vacant board position, especially if you’re a person who likes to meet new people and get an overall idea of community activities. It would be a chance to keep your professional skills in shape, or reach for some new personal goals. If you’d like to gain some new skills, we offer mentorship and free board training.
To get your feet wet, you're welcome to attend a few meetings, or volunteer to help with a small project. Is there a new program you’d like to initiate and lead? We’re very flexible in accommodating our community helpers.
