  • Membership Reminders & Winter Pay-As-You-Go Returns!

    A big wintery hello to our members and Happy New Year! As we kick off 2026, we’d like to share a few helpful reminders and updates.


    Winter Pay as You Go Classes

    Pay As You Go classes are back for the winter session! This flexible option is a great way to try new programs without committing to the full session; perfect for travellers or those with busy schedules. View the full listing at www.oscc.ca/payg.


    Parking Passes

    Members visiting the John Street Branch are reminded to ensure their parking pass is current and clearly displayed. Oshawa Bylaw Services regularly patrols the lot to help maintain access for seniors. Vehicles without a visible pass may be ticketed. 2026 parking passes are available for pickup at any front desk.


    Membership Card Scanning

    Please remember to scan your membership card each time you visit any OSCC55+ branch. Scanners are located at all front desks, with an additional scanner at the rear entrance of the John Street Branch. This information is important for both security and statistical tracking. Thank you for your cooperation.


    Inclement Weather & Program Cancellations

    Winter has arrived with some wild weather! While OSCC55+ makes every effort to keep our community centres open, programs are led by independent instructors. In the event of inclement weather, the decision to run or cancel a class rest with the instructor. We recommend calling ahead before heading out.

  • Announcing: Pay Your Life Forward Subsidy Fund

    It only takes one person, one business, one small gesture to change a senior’s life.

    The reality in our community is clear:

    • 1 in 10 seniors in Durham Region experience poverty.

    • More than 18,000 seniors (65+) live alone, nearly 15% of our senior population. Oshawa has among the highest rates of low-income and socially isolated seniors in the region. (Community Lens Report, Community Development Council of Durham, 2020)

    We’re introducing a new way to give: the Pay Your Life Forward Subsidy Fund.

    Your donation goes directly toward subsidizing memberships, programs, and services for seniors in financial need. Zero administration fees. Full transparency. Real impact.

    As the number of older adults grows, so does the need for support. This Giving Tuesday, pay it forward so every older adult can stay active, connected, and supported — regardless of income.

    Because everyone deserves to belong.

    Donating is easy.
