OSPN in partnership with The Good Companions is delighted to offer in person programing to our 55+ LGBTQ2+ community.

Out and About Saturdays is specialty programing for the 55+ LGBTQ2+ community. Ideas for offerings can be forwarded to the program coordinator, Stephane Gauthier at sgauthier@thegoodcompanions.ca or by telephone at (613) 236-0428 ext. 2353.

Once a month Stephane and the Saturday programing committee meet to discuss potential offerings and brainstorm new ideas and opportunities for programing. If you are interested in joining the committee, please email your request to sgauthier@thegoodcompanions.ca.

Our program guide is offered on a seasonal basis. To see the current program guide and our offerings click here.

Parking is available at the center for $2.50 a day or $30.00 annually.
