Markham or non-Markham residents who are 55 years of age and older.  However, the Club is comprised of 75% of Markham Residents and no more than 25% Non-residents.  Should more than 25% Non-residents apply for membership those above 25% will be placed on the wait list and advised when they are able to join.

Club membership fees are a combination of City of Markham and AGOAC fees.  The City of Markham component consists of Resident/Non-Resident fees and Age related fees. AGOAC fees have a first year initiation fee and in following years this is reduced to a renewal fee amount.  The application form shows the current fee structure.
AGOAC Membership (*Fees are non-refundable and non-proratable.)

The membership year normally runs from September 1st to August 31st of the following year.  A member must renew his/her membership each year by August 31st to continue to enjoy AGOAC programs.

The club is supported and run by volunteers.  While we appreciate the efforts provided by our volunteers, we believe that all members should be treated equally; therefore, every member pays the same fee to participate in AGOAC programs.

AGOAC continues to work with the City of Markham to provide facilities for our programs.  Currently, programs are held at one of the 4 locations:

1. Angus Glen Community Centre
2. Crosby Community Centre
3. Old Unionville Library Community Centre
4. Stiver Mill Community Centre

The most up to date program schedule is posted under [All Schedules], under [Programs] on this website.  You may also find a schedule posted in the Bulletin Board outside the Older Adults Centre at Angus Glen Community Centre.

AGOAC programs are created for our members, therefore, priority is given to them.

There are 2 types of programs; drop-in programs and register programs.  For the drop-in programs, there is no need to register in advance.  For the register programs, you have to register prior to attending the program.  The method of registration is determined by the program coordinator.

There are some programs where AGAOC cannot find volunteers and there is the demand.  Normally, these are programs that are either “grandfathered” from the City of Markham or no volunteer instructor is found.   Members have to pay additional nominal fee to participate in those programs.

Some programs such as Chinese Calligraphy, Badminton, Pickleball etc. collect money to buy materials (calligraphy materials, Cooking ingredients, balls, birdies, etc.) required for the programs.  The fee is to cover material cost.

Most of AGOAC programs run in a 3-month session.  There are some programs that have either a shorter or longer session.  Registration information are posted at the [Registration] page as well as the Bulletin Board outside the Older Adults Centre at Angus Glen Community Centre.  Normally, advance notice is also posted under the Announcements section of this website.

Yes, all members are expected to carry their membership cards and to show them when signing in to class.  As many of our programs are free, this is to protect our members to ensure that our programs are for our members.

Attendance records are important to us.  We use the information to determine if any adjustments need to be made to our programs.  It is also used for Grant application purposes.  City of Markham also requires us to provide the information to them periodically to ensure good usage of their facilities.

Sometime programs are cancelled due to emergency or other reasons.  All cancellations will be posted on the [Changes/Cancellations] page under the [Programs] section of our website.  Members are encouraged to check the website regularly for current status.

Please see the Weather Cancellation Policy page.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering.  If you are interested to volunteer with the club, you may speak to your class instructor, program coordinator or write directly to info@agoac.com  AGOAC will contact you.

Volunteers have priority only in the programs that they volunteer for and the same privileges as all members in other programs that they have NOT volunteer for.  Example: If you volunteers to help out in Tai Chi Fan, you will have priority as determined by the coordinator only for Tai Chi Fan.
