Our Burlington meeting will be held on Tuesday March 22nd, 2016 at the Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington.

As many of you will already know our Community meetings are gaining in popularity. Since we hold exactly the same monthly meetings in Milton we encourage anyone who can do so to please consider going to that location. Please be aware that if room capacity limits are reached at Burlington we may have to restrict entrance in order to comply with building safety code regulations. Typically there is more space available at Milton. Please CLICK HERE to see a map of the Milton location.

Both meetings will begin with a short welcoming address from our Chairperson, Tom Carrothers. Tom will also provide a brief update on your CARP Halton Chapter and CARP National activities.

This will be followed by our featured presentation.

There will be a break at the midway point in the presentation which will allow time to socialize with fellow members and to visit our sponsors.
