The vibrant people who live at Canterbury Woods are free to reinvent their retirement lifestyles on a daily basis! Unlike retirees in the past, today's seniors seem to prefer staying active, combining their favorite hobbies with community involvement, cultural events, continuing education, social activities and more.

 

The residents of Canterbury Woods remain integrated members of the greater community and take full advantage of the opportunities in Williamsville and the greater Buffalo area. Many enjoy volunteering through local civic or charitable organizations, houses of worship and schools. Residents' families and friends are also invited to become part of our community through campus events.

 

At Canterbury Woods, many residents enjoy learning new things - while also keeping their minds sharp - by attending Canterbury University classes. Others enjoy sharing their skills and knowledge by teaching. Founded during the first year of the community's opening by forward-thinking residents with an interest in science, the Canterbury University now offers classes in world history, literature, philosophy, economics and other topics of interest.

 

Naturally, you'll always have the option of relaxing in the privacy of your own residence. But with so many life-enhancing amenities, courses through Canterbury University and an extensive calendar of events, you'll never lack for something fun to do. Canterbury Woods offers an impressive range of social, fitness, educational, entertainment and recreational opportunities, seven days a week. Here's just a small sampling of our programs:

 

 

In addition, the community schedules many trips to Western New York's many attractions, including prime destinations for shopping, theatre, art galleries and sporting events.
