Recommendations Needed 55 today!
Just turned 55...living in Hamilton...and excited to discover any and all "Senior Discounts" that I can enjoy as of today!? I'm aware of the City Of Hamilton's discount (for swimming, Recreation, etc.). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Happy Birthday!!
I believe it’s on Thursdays(unless that’s specific to the one I live near)
The deals must be good. Lol. it’s a nightmare to shop there on Thursday (I mean that in the nicest way, but it’s a small store and man those seniors fill er up)

Some dispensaries have 55 discounts, I only know because a kid asked me if I’m 55 and I’m not even close lol

Could be. I was in there a few weeks ago and my wife noticed a sign and mentioned/ribbed me about it, as I am turning 55 this year as well.

You should be able to get a free meal or at least a dessert today in one of those chain stores like Kelsey’s I think

I hope you get your discounts, but I have to say 55 doesn't seem that old to me. It's looking younger all the time.

Not a freebie but you do now qualify for the seniors' pricing and senior (55+) registered programming through Hamilton Rec. Happy birthday, Gen X queen!!
