Join us every second and fourth Saturday of the month for a range of engaging activities, from educational workshops to social programming, all designed to foster connection, support, and enjoyment. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can feel comfortable, respected, and celebrate.
Join us every first Wednesday of the month from 10:00 am to 11:30 am for coffee and treats, engaging conversations, guest speakers, and open discussions, all aimed at fostering community, support, and friendship. Whether you’re looking to connect with others or simply enjoy a cup of coffee and treats in a friendly atmosphere, Rainbow Coffee Club is the perfect place to be.
Join us every third Friday of the month from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and connect with friends old and new, enjoy a game of pool or darts, and unwind with a cold beer or the non-alcoholic drink of your choice. It’s the perfect way to kick back, socialize, and celebrate community in a comfortable and inclusive space.
This program is designed to combat isolation and foster meaningful connections among 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults in the Ottawa region. Participants can schedule regular check-in calls with our dedicated volunteers, ensuring they feel supported and connected. We strive to accommodate everyone’s needs to the best of our ability.
If you’re interested in receiving check-in calls or volunteering for the program, please reach out to Sarah Rea (2SLGBTQIA+ Program Coordinator) at srea@thegoodcompanions.ca
Together, let’s build a stronger, more connected community!
The Good Companions is a long-time advocate and friend to the Ottawa Senior Pride Network (OSPN). Together, we share a strong commitment to supporting and celebrating 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals over 50 years young in our community.
Over the years, we’ve worked together to deliver meaningful and inclusive programming. We continue to collaborate on initiatives like Out and About Saturdays, offer welcoming spaces for OSPN’s dance fundraisers, and are proud to host community workshops with them such as “Ageing in Place”. We take pride in being able to offer OSPN a safe, inclusive space to host monthly community groups such as the Older and Bolder women’s group.
Together, we’re building a more inclusive community for all seniors.
