Retirement Explorers is a free, drop-in program for retirees who love to learn, explore new ideas, deepen their knowledge, engage in meaningful discussions, and connect with friends.

In partnership with the Thunder Bay Public Library, sessions run every Friday from October to December and January to April at the Mary J.L. Black Community Hub (901 Edward Street).

No registration is required—just drop in and join the fun!

Please note: Retirement Explorers is currently on "vacation" and will return to its regular schedule in October 2025.
