Activities

Walking:
Members who enjoy walking, use the Centre as a home base and walk either through town, on the walking trail, or other interesting areas and in the winter we have access to the arena for indoor walking. You can walk slowly or fast, alone or with a friend, spouse or group — whichever is your preference. 

Floor  Shuffleboard:
We have four Floor Shuffleboards which our members enjoy. Some have played before and share their talent with those wishing to learn the game. There is always room on Monday mornings for more players.

Art Classes:
Fred Harrison, art instructor, helps members discover their talent and enjoy creating paintings on Monday mornings. He holds two classes, one for beginners and one for the experienced. There is a $5 surcharge for his time & skill.

Rug Hooking:
Rug Hooking is very popular and with members and they share their talent and knowledge with those who wish to learn. i.e. How high should my loop be? Should I hook every hole? What kind of hook should I get? How do you bind a rug?...etc.

Exercise Classes:
Jeannette Jonah on Wednesday mornings takes the class through non-strenuous exercises which are geared to Seniors to assist in keeping you mobile and feeling good. The surcharge is 10 classes for $35. You need not take them in order, you could miss some and then continue from there.

Tai Chi:
The graceful movements of people gliding through dance-like poses as they practice Tai Chi are compelling. These gentle movements improve stress reduction, flexibility and balance. Jane Achen heads the Tai Chi Class on Thursday afternoons which many members enjoy. There is a $5 surcharge for her time & skill.
