Goal

Established in October 1992 by a group of concerned citizens, the 'Active Adult Centre of Mississauga' (AACM) is a registered charitable organization committed to enriching the lives of Mississauga's active adults who are 50+ years of age. Our aim is to ensure that older adults remain active, independent, and engaged in their community, thus bettering their health and well-being. AACM's mission is to meet the diverse social and educational needs of its 1400+ members through a range of affordable, accessible, and stimulating programs and activities that strengthen the body, enliven the mind and awaken the spirit. As the AACM gradually emerges from closure of its Centre during the COVID-19 Emergency, we recognize the vital importance of a gradual return to the Centre's usual recreational activities, as well as the need for continuing HEALTH & SAFETY of all who attend at the Centre (staff, volunteers, members, guests, visitors). BINGO is an early choice for such a return, and we need committed volunteers to assist in the role of 'Bingo Caller' (see 'Description', above). Accordingly, we now seek dedicated, experienced volunteers to assume this vital role.
