The Seniors Arts & Music Series (SAMS) is a circuit of free in-person entertainment for older adults to participate in stimulating and varied arts classes and musical performances, presented to residents of long-term care and retirement homes in Mississauga.

“Thank you and MAC again so very much for arranging the workshop – it was such a treat for my clients, and it was so beautiful to see their enthusiasm (and pride in their work!)… It means so very much to me to be able to provide my clients with such impactful experiences, and we so greatly appreciate your support in this! The SAMS project is truly wonderful.“
