Seniors Programs

The WISE Mobile Active Living Centre travels to communities across Muskoka.  In the event that a programs is cancelled due to inclement weather, we will contact those participants that have registered for the program or event.  Individuals will receive an automated telephone call noting the cancellation and may receive an email.  Inclement weather can include, but not limited to: heavy rain, freezing rain, risk of thunderstorms, significant snowfall, icy or dangerous driving conditions, extreme heat, and predicted weather warnings.  Our programs are mostly located in rural areas, please note that we often base the decisions on the bus cancellations in the area in which the program takes place. 

Our first priority is the health and safety of our participants/members and volunteers.  Please always use your own discretion when attending our programs and drive according to road conditions.
