One part of our goals is to assist Iranian-Canadian seniors, to live independently in their own home as long as possible by arranging for services when needed. When independent living at home is no longer possible or desirable, Parya Community Centre will assist those individuals to secure appropriate accommodation and services to maximize independence, health, and personal growth in a secure setting where the senior can enjoy an enriched quality of life.
Parya Community Centre is a community recreation facility. Our goal is to provide an extensive range of social, health, wellness, recreational and educational opportunities for older adults aged 55+.
We encourage participation, independence, growth and learning for all who come to the centre.
