Active Aging Week
Join us as we celebrate Active Aging Week 2026!
Active Aging Week was established by the International Council on Active Aging to celebrate aging and to promote the benefits of healthy living worldwide. This year it takes place October 5-10, with free activities being offered locally throughout Oceanside.
Now in its 24th year, Active Aging Week is an international campaign dedicated to changing society’s perceptions of aging by celebrating the abilities, achievements and possibilities of older adults. In 2025, more than 5,000 organizations across 14 countries hosted over 20,000 events, involving more than one million participants and demonstrating the global momentum behind active aging.
In Parksville you can stop by Oceanside Place Arena on October 7 for the Inspiring Connections Open House. Come and learn about local community groups that support seniors, enjoy a presentation, and take part in free activities.
