CARP Halton Chapter Community Meetings in September 2025

Please join CARP Halton Chapter at our evening community meetings in September as we kick off our 2025/2026 season. Please join us at either our Halton North or Halton South meetings for what we believe will be truly inspiring presentations.

Our Halton North meeting will be held in Milton on Tuesday September 9th at the Birkdale Retirement Living Residence at 611 Farmstead Drive, (Derry and Farmstead). Our Halton South meeting will be held in Burlington on Thursday September 25th at the Seniors Centre at 2285 New Street.

For our Halton North meeting we will be delighted to welcome back Dr. David Harper who last spoke at our meetings in March.

Dr. Dave will explore actionable strategies that will help improve health and vitality at every stage of life and to help manage stress that directly impacts seniors! His goal is to empower attendees to become the “CEO of their health” and inspire them to take proactive steps toward greater well-being.

David Harper is a father, speaker, author, functional medicine and functional neurology practitioner, nutritionist and Sports Specialist Chiropractor. 

David is convinced that that each person can be their own best HERO of their own life and is committed to helping others embrace their own value and worth and support them as they awaken their deep healing through the use of clean diets, optimal lifestyles and regular milestone performance-based biomarkers that lead to opportunities for transformation.

David is a Maverick personality and invites like-minded fellow humans who share their wild side to join with him to bring humanity to a higher level of vitality and longevity; to make a positive difference in this crazy world; and lead by example.  He is an advocate for seeing each become the best version of themselves and participating in lending that optimistic voice of hope and healing to their families and communities.

As with Milton we will be delighted to welcome back to our Burlington meeting a truly remarkable speaker, Hailey Patry, who gave such an inspiring presentation at our June meeting. For this meeting Hailey will focus on:

HAPPY LOVE – Proven practical tools to create more joy and connection in your relationship.

Hailey Patry is your True Happiness Coach, Marriage Mentor and The Relationship Repair Specialist. Awarded as “World’s Best Marriage Mentor”, she helps couples & individuals heal, in 90 days or less. Hailey is a master coach, certifying other coaches in her I.D.E.A.L. Love Method, and she has a specialty in communication, infidelity, trauma, and helping couples get out of “Roommate Syndrome” to fall in love with each other again. She loves teaching couples how to create more joy and connection together, no matter what age and stage you’re at, and she was recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate, for her internationally recognized work.

The following summarizes the description of her talk.

We all know the importance of connection, whether it’s with your life partner, your community, your closest friends, and even with yourself. But how do we actually CAUSE more connection, when it’s lacking? What skills and techniques can we use to enhance our romantic relationships, deepen our connection, or find that special someone? 

In this unique talk, Hailey will be teaching us:

  • Her proven 5-Step I.D.E.A.L. Love Method
  • The 6 Secret Skills of Happy Couples
  • How to communicate in deeper ways with our partners
  • How to refresh our relationships at any stage
  • And best practices for creating more connection in our lives whether we are partnered or single and searching.

 

Isolation is the greatest risk factor for depression, addiction and even suicide. Therefore, connection is literally as serious as life and death, and you each deserve to feel meaningfully connected in your life. Hailey is honoured to be joining us, to teach us exactly how we can create more connection, whether we are blessed to be in a loving relationship, or searching for one.

This talk is for each of you, and it is especially for you if you are married or in a long term relationship, and want it to flourish for many years to come.

What to expect? Hailey will do a deep dive presentation for all of our great couples, on how to stay happy in love together, and make the rest of your years together, the best of your years together. Then after a short coffee break we’ll be interviewing her for a live hot seat on how to create the relationship of your dreams, if you are single and ready to date again. (Even if you’re shy). We can’t wait to welcome Hailey back, for what promises to be another educational and inspirational talk.

Doors will open at both locations at 6.30pm, the program will start at 7.00pm and will wrap up around 8.45pm. We must be out of our meeting spaces by 9.00pm to allow staff time to close up after our meetings have ended

Light refreshments, coffee, tea and treats, will be available at both meetings. At Milton refreshments will be provided by the Birkdale Retirement Residence. We thank the management and staff for their generosity.

Our meetings will begin with a short welcoming address and a brief update on your CARP Halton Chapter activities. This will be followed by our featured presentation.

There will be a break at the midway point which will allow time to socialize with fellow members and to visit our sponsors.

Our meetings will conclude with a few closing remarks and our 50/50 draw. We encourage you to support this draw as proceeds help defray the costs incurred in putting on our meetings.

Our meetings are FREE. All are welcome. Please plan to join us at either or both locations. We are looking forward to meeting our members and friends as our 2025/2026 season begins.
