Established in 1991, the Third Age Centre is a Registered Charity housed at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Directed by a volunteer Board, it operates on the principle of seniors helping seniors. The Centre’s Goal is to support seniors’ efforts to maintain an active healthy lifestyle, develop themselves, and serve their communities. TAC promotes life-long learning, informed public discussion, and inter- generational exchange between seniors and younger people.
The Board meets approximately 10 times per year. The meetings are between 60 and 90 minutes. The main activity is planning public information events, although there may be some fund-raising activity and other tasks that occasionally arise.
At present the Board is predominantly female and would like to achieve more balance in gender representation. The Board is also hoping to expand its skill sets among them fund-raising, accounting or bookkeeping, graphic design, website and social media management, and marketing.
