EVENTS
October 4 – Boot Scootin’ Boogie Line Dance Workshop
Join us for a lively line dance workshop designed for dancers with some experience. The afternoon begins at 2:00 pm with a warm-up and review of basic line dance steps. At 2:30, Jay, Krystyna, and Collene will each introduce a new dance. Then from 3:00 to 4:30, the floor opens up for an energetic session of favourite routines from their classes. Come for the learning, stay for the fun!
October 8 – The Beat Goes On!
Dr. Courneya will share fascinating insights into how the heart works—both as a powerful pump and as a generator of its own electrical signals. She will also guide us through important topics such as heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias, helping us better understand the marvels and challenges of this vital organ. Admission by donation; no pre-registration required. Seating is limited, so arrive early!
October 16 – Friendship Tea
Join us this month for treats and good company. Friendship Tea is held every month on the third Thursday from 2 to 4 pm. It’s free!
October 25 – Halloween Disco Party
Get ready to groove on October 25th for a spook-tacular night of Halloween meets Disco! John and Krystyna will be spinning all the hottest tracks from the disco era, keeping the dance floor alive with whatever gets the crowd moving. Come dressed to impress in your favourite disco threads or Halloween costume—there will be prizes for the best looks! Tickets are just $15 in advance (available at the SSAC front desk or A Little Brit of Heaven) and $20 at the door. A bar stocked with beer, wine, and cider will keep the good vibes flowing, plus there’s a 50/50 draw to add to the excitement. Doors open at 6:30, and the party kicks off at 7:00 with non-stop music and dancing until 10:00 pm. Don’t miss this night of fright, funk, and fabulous fun!
