Nelson’s Learning in Retirement

“Laughter, curiosity and learning are fundamental to living well.”

Birthe Achtner, Founding Member 

About

Are you 50 or over? Have a curious mind? Looking for new interests or to learn new skills with a group of like-minded people? LiR is a great place to meet new friends and have fun at the same time.

LiR is run by seniors for seniors, coming together to embrace lifelong learning, explore our unique community and connect with each other.

Community

Our programs are run solely by thoughtful volunteers. LiR members also actively support Selkirk College’s Health Care Assistant Certificate though our LiR Eldercare Scholarships & Bursaries fund

We are sincerely grateful for the kindness of our Nelson community. A very special thank you to the Osprey Foundation for their generous financial support!
