About this Event
Niagara Older Adult Alliance (NOAA) Spring 2026 Meeting
Join us in person for the 2026 Lunch & Learn Meeting! NOAA is an alliance of leaders from local municipal advisory committees across Niagara, advocating for the interests of older people and age-friendly actions in their communities. It’s a great chance to connect, share ideas, and learn more about supporting our older adult community right here in Niagara. Whether you're a member or just curious, come along and be part of the conversation.
