• Indoor walking tracks: Get your steps in and walk inside Carmen Corbasson Community Centre and Meadowvale Community Centre (some exclusions apply).
• Unlimited drop-in recreational swims and recreational skates (some exclusions apply).

Enjoy these offerings at 13 locations across the city, including the Mississauga Seniors’ Centre.

How to register

Older adult residents must visit a local community centre with proof of Mississauga residency and valid identification. Acceptable documents include a utility bill, property tax bill or a valid Ontario driver’s license. Memberships must be renewed annually, and while the membership is free, standard drop-in fees apply for certain activities such as Shinny Hockey, Pickleball, and Aquafitness.

Residents must be 65 years of age or older and be a resident of Mississauga on the day of membership activation and their account must be in good standing (no amount owing to the City). Customers must also have their photograph taken to produce the membership card.
