Seniors

As part of its recreation program, the Ville de Saint-Lambert offers a wide range of classes and activities for people aged 50 and over during each of its four sessions (fall, winter, spring, and summer).

You can search on the online registration site, but for an overview of all the activities that are offered, we invite you to consult the latest recreation program available in the Publications section.

The Ville de Saint-Lambert pays particular attention to the development of its parks to ensure they have something to offer people of all ages. Among the activities that are more specifically geared to seniors, you’ll find:

Pickleball

During the following hours, the ice rink is converted into a pickleball court and is reserved for the practice of this sport. Visit the Sports fields page for all details.

Petanque courts

There are three petanque courts in Saint-Lambert, at Préville, Dulwich, and Saint-Denis parks. Visit the Sports fields page for all details.

Leisure parks

In addition to its recreational parks, the City offers several small ornamental parks set up as relaxation areas so that you can picnic or simply enjoy the good weather. Consult the interactive map to find out about these parks.

The Ville de Saint-Lambert offers an array of entertaining activities for adults of all ages as part of its Rendez-vous culturels program. In addition to being offered free or at a minimal cost, these events are held in venues that are accessible to people with reduced mobility.

The City offers programming throughout the year. Consult the calendar to find out the schedule of activities.
