Who We Are

Inspired and supported by Third Age Learning programs in Kitchener- Waterloo, Guelph and Burlington, a small group of interested persons in Hamilton took steps in June 2011 to begin the development of the city’s own Third Age Learning organization.

A year later in July 2012, Hamilton Third Age Learning was registered in Ontario as a not for profit Corporation and in the Spring of 2013 launched its first series of six lectures. Another six lectures were given that Fall and the presentation of Spring and Fall lectures each year has become the pattern of the organization’s operation.

Hamilton Third Age Learning (HTAL) is a volunteer organization dependent upon the work and support of many local volunteers.

The Officers and Committees of  the organization can be seen by clicking here.

The successful development of our program has been greatly assisted by the support of the Hamilton Council on Aging, the President’s office at McMaster, the McMaster Innovation Park, and Mohawk College. We have also been very well served by Simpson  Wigle, by First Ontario Credit Union, and by Legacy Designs. The support of all these organizations is gratefully acknowledged.
