Seniors

Twenty percent (20%) of West Perth's population is over 65, which is an active and vibrant population of seniors who enjoy and benefit from a wide range of programs and activities. Whether your interests vary from instructional classes, leisure programs, support services or volunteer opportunities, West Perth offers convenience for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Staying Active

West Perth is home to accessible conservation areas, trails and parks which make it really comfortable to be outside enjoying nature.
