Living and Learning in Retirement (LLIR) is an organization that offers stimulating general-interest courses. Membership is open to anyone who wants to keep active and intellectually engaged as they grow older. LLIR is run by a Board of volunteers from our membership.

We are the oldest third-age learning group in Canada and have been operating for more than fifty years.
