Established in 2001, AJA 50+ is an organization with 350 members whose goal is to provide relevant programming to mature adults in the Ottawa Jewish Community. 

AJA 50+ welcomes anyone aged 50 and older, including singles, couples, Jews, and non-Jews, those affiliated with synagogues and the Jewish Community, as well as those who have no Jewish affiliation.  Some  members have lived in Ottawa most of their lives, while others are newcomers to the city.  Members are either retired or semi-retired.

AJA 50+ offers over 100 educational, cultural, recreational and social programs each year, most during daytime hours.  A 'day out' program, Creative Connections, is also offered one day a week and includes fitness, music and educational programming as well as a hot lunch and snacks.
