Who Are We? Third Age Learning - York Region (TALYR) is a not-for-profit organization created to provide intellectually challenging presentations for senior adults in York Region. We recognized a previously unmet need in York Region for an increasing number of retired people who are interested in continuous learning. We are committed to ensuring high quality presentations at a university level. Careful selection of topics and speakers, assisted by audience feedback, ensures presentation quality and relevance to the audience. Third Age Learning - York Region (TALYR) is a federally incorporated organization that is governed by its By-Laws. These By-Laws were effective on March 31, 2015 and subsequently revised on September 21, 2015. Click on Bylaws link at the bottom of the page. TALYR is a proud member of the Third Age Network ("TAN") in Ontario which is a cooperative network of organizations providing similar services across the province. Through the network, we can obtain advice about speakers, operations, rental fees, etc. We can broaden the general knowledge of TAN and support its efforts to encourage the development of educational opportunities for our constituency. TAN website https://thirdagenetwork.ca/ What is Third Age Learning? Third Age, a term that was created in France in 1973, refers to the period in one’s life following childhood learning and middle age working when one is free to explore interests and activities that please them. Third Age Learning organizations provide intellectual stimulation for that constituency of learners. | AGM HIGHLIGHTS The TALYR 10th AGM was held on October 28, 2024.
