Welcome to LV's first 50+ group - LV50+ Fit & Feisty! If you're over 50 years of age, this groups for you! This group was created by volunteers for the LV community as an outlet to enhance the lives of Laurentian Valley 50+ residents by providing opportunities to remain fit, build social connections, and inspire a zest for life. 
The group uses the Alice & Fraser Recreation Centre as a home-base but also uses other facilities within LV for various activities. 

About the group:

  • Programming runs from Monday to Friday from September to May. 
  • Examples of program offerings: pickle ball, yoga, cultural excursions, coffee chats, music jams, cycling, ATVing and more!
  • LV residents and surrounding area aged 50+ are welcome to join
  • This is a membership-based group
  • Memberships are $25 and run from September to August and are not prorated
  • New memberships are $25 and renewal memberships are $25
  • Payment of the $25 membership fee can be made by E-Transfer to fitandfeisty50@gmail.com or in person by cash or cheque when you submit your registration form. 

Become a member

The purpose of the membership is to off-set the cost of programming. A membership is required to participate in most programming although, if an event requires a certain amount of participants it would be open to members first and if any spots are remaining, it would then be open to non-members. There are several events the LV50+F&F promotes that are open to the general public of any age such as Thursday Night Euchre and the Bi-Weekly Music Jams.

In person registration can be done at any LV 50+ Fit & Feisty event or at Alice & Fraser Rec Centre (1 Henan Road) during Coffee Connect on Wednesdays from 10am to 11:30 am. 

Payment of the $25 membership fee can be made by E-Transfer to fitandfeisty50@gmail.com or in person by cash or cheque.

Paper copies of the membership application are available upon request by emailing fitandfeisty50@gmail.com or by visiting the Township Office at 460 Witt Road between 8:30am – 4:00pm from Monday to Friday.
For more information please contact the group directly by email or follow them on Facebook.
