Later Life Learning in the Barrie Area

Third Age Barrie is a volunteer-based group dedicated to providing educational and entertaining learning opportunities for mature adults.  Lectures cover a wide range of topics with knowledgeable, well-known speakers. Visit the ‘Past’ tab to see the diversity in topics, from current, global affairs to science, and even art and music.

We also provide a friendly social community for retired adults to come together to learn at Grace United Church, as well as livestreaming for those who prefer the comfort of home. Whenever possible, we make recordings available for a limited time after the event.

TAB is a not-for-profit organization, part of the provincial TAN Network, and completely volunteer led.

We invite you to join us for the joy of learning and meeting new friends!

What People are Saying:

I like the camaraderie at the church… also an occasion to meet friends.” 
Very informative and enjoyable as always. Your hard work is appreciated.
The streaming/recording options give me more flexibility for my timetable and I can tune in wherever I happen to be… I love it!
The lecture series organized by TAB are most informative and provide a social connection for many seniors in the Barrie area.
– Dave Wismer
It is so convenient to be able to experience these great lectures from the comfort of my home, especially in winter.
This was an excellent series.  Our congratulations to the Program Committee who conceptualized the issues and topics and found great speakers.
I have participated in just about every lecture series since TAB started I think and eagerly look forward to every new series. Every series has afforded me the opportunity to expand my horizons & knowledge. It is marvelous that TAB is endeavouring to make these lectures accessible to even more seniors in our community.
