Third Age Learning at Glendon

LLIR offers stimulating general-interest courses to people who are retired. 10 week courses are offered in the fall and winter terms. Each course runs on Fridays in either the morning or the afternoon. Over the years, membership and accommodations in lecture halls at Glendon College has grown so that we can offer up to eleven courses each academic year.

Members may take one course each term. Most members are in their seats well before the appointed time, eager to experience the high-quality programs for which LLIR is known.

Lecturers often comment how much they enjoy speaking at LLIR as the members are keen learners, well-educated, well-traveled and — drawing upon lifetimes of experience — question and interact with the speakers in thought-provoking ways.

LLIR is run by member volunteers, so low overhead keeps prices down and makes our courses accessible by all retirees. The annual registration fee is $45, and each course is $30 (HST included). A volunteer Board of Directors organizes and manages the program. Operational costs such as rent, audio visual, honoraria for Lecturers and Course Directors are covered by fees.
