Encore Education Centre is a non-profit organization offering educational courses and information sessions designed primarily for adults 50+ residing in Cornwall, Ontario and the United Counties of SD&G. There are no tests or grades in these non-credit courses and workshops.
Knowledgeable leaders conduct daytime sessions covering a broad range of topics including, travel, creative arts, music, philosophy, health & nutrition, computers, and history, just to name a few.
Our members have cited a wide variety of motivations for joining Encore, but the most common reasons given have been; it provides educational, academic experiences and the opportunity to exercise mentally with peers with similar interests.
And that Encore provides a fun and social experiences where individuals are learning simply for the love of learning. Encore is also a meeting place where new friendships are made and developed.
