Kearney Senior Citizens Club

For over 100 years, Kearney Seniors have been an active and proactive group in Kearney, the Biggest Little Town in Ontario. All seniors, and seniors-in-waiting, are welcome  to come  on out, see who we are, share in the camaraderie, find out what is available for seniors, government programs, Seniors helping Seniors, how you can be involved. 

History

In 1955, the Seniors formed a Club  who met regularly at the old Community Centre (1905-1989), site of the 1st Orange Hall on Main Street, directly behind the United Church. 

 In 1968, “The Seniors” group,  was established as  an Elderly Persons Centre, which then provided a notable degree of official status to this very vibrant group.

In 1989, the Kearney Seniors was granted a Seniors lounge in the new Kearney Community Centre. 

In 1990, the Elderly Persons Act provided for the Town of Kearney to establish an Elderly persons Centre and operate as an official entity under the care of the municipality. A clear benefit to this arrangement was that the Kearney Seniors were awarded financial support from both the Ontario Government and the Town of Kearney, to establish and  operate the new “Seniors Lounge”

For many years, the Kearney Seniors were members of the United Seniors Citizens of Ontario (USCO) and continue to receive the USCO’s publication, The VOICE.

In 2022-24, through another grant from the Province the Kearney Senior Citizens Club Lounge facilities were upgraded once again.

Membership fluctuates on average 60-75 members plus guests. Everyone is encouraged to bring a friend or two, to our meetings, our activities, our socials, our programs.
