Did you know? The d’Esterre Seniors’ Centre began with a vision from local seniors in the early 1970s who wanted a dedicated place to connect and stay active. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, community supporters, and the Rotary Club of Comox, the Centre opened its doors at 1801 Beaufort Avenue in 1976 and has been bringing people together ever since.

Today, we celebrate not only 50 years of history, but also the thousands of friendships, memories, and community connections that have been made along the way.

Whether you're a current member, former member, longtime supporter, or visiting for the first time, we cannot wait to celebrate with you!
