Nelson and Area’s Learning in Retirement Society

LAUGHTER, CURIOSITY AND LEARNING ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO LIVING WELL.

BIRTHE ACHTNER, FOUNDING MEMBER OF LIR 

About Us

Are you 50 or over? Have a curious mind? Looking for new interests or 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. We’re proud of our Nelson community of joy and learning.

Get Involved

LiR members enjoy our Friday presentations, multi-session classes, interest groups as well as special events.

Some are challenging, some are informative, some are social and some are just for fun.

Come share knowledge, experience, and laughter as we move forward in this increasingly complex world.
