Why Become a Hub Member?

In a rapidly changing and fast paced world, the Hub provides an opportunity for older residents in the community to age like people did in ‘the good old days’ – but with added benefits.  When you become a Hub member, you join a community specifically convened to support older community residents to continue to live independently in their own homes, streets, and neighbourhoods, for as long as possible, as well as possible, and as inexpensively as possible.

What Are the Benefits of Becomming a Hub Member?

When you become a Hub Member, your overall quality of life will improve. Some of the broad benefits that Members will experience include –

  • Increased social interaction through a range of activities and events.
  • Friendly support in the home and community.
  • New learning opportunities.
  • Access to discounted and vetted services and businesses.
  • Access to up to date information and services related to ageing well and ageing in place.
  • Opportunities to share and have valued their unique knowledge, skills, passions and interests with other members and the broader community.
