McMaster University Continuing Education has launched the McMaster Learning for 55+ program, which gives older adults access to a variety of courses developed specifically for them. Designed by experienced facilitators, these courses are available to older adults living in Hamilton and the surrounding area who are interested in continuing their education.

Classes will be held at McMaster Continuing Education’s downtown location at One James North, Hamilton. Courses will run weekly over a four to six-week period on subjects that explore art, literature, science, health, wellness, business, politics and technology.

“At McMaster Continuing Education, we believe that the journey of learning never stops,” says Lorraine Carter, director of McMaster Continuing Education. “The courses offered in McMaster Learning for 55+ have been designed to engage and enrich the lives of the mature learner and contribute to their mental and emotional wellness.”
