With over 20 different activities each week, the SSAC has something to offer every adult yet there remains far too many older adults unwilling to leave their homes. To help improve the overall health of our seniors’ community it will continue to take a concerted effort from family and friends to reach out to loved ones to get them out socializing, exercising and having fun. The best way to do this: join them!
Some activities in December may get cancelled so, to avoid disappointment, feel free to call the office if you want to be sure. Right now we have a couple of classes cancelled: Chair Yoga on December 5th & 6th (back on December 12th) and Painting Pals December 22nd (but still running until then).
The most attended activity at the Centre, by far, is Pickleball followed by Yoga, Bridge, Fitness & Line Dancing. Right behind those activities are Chair Yoga, Quilting, Memory Café, Carpet Bowling and Poker while new activities like Badminton, Table Tennis and Sunday morning exercise (Yin Yoga, Latin Dance) continue to increase in popularity. The famous Fish & Chips Fridays continue to be the biggest weekly draw in the lunch room while monthly live music dances have provided a great reason to dress up, meet your neighbours and enjoy weekend socials.
Emergency HAM Radio activity chair Larry Peterson would like to invite members to participate in their weekly call (Wednesdays 9:15–9:45am) to help ensure folks are up to date on any imminent situations or emergencies arising in our community.
Wednesday’s Dance Rhythms activity, led by Louise Parker has been changed to Thursdays from 11:45am–12:45pm. To get into the Christmas spirit, and introduce dance rhythms to more members, this month the activity will be themed Easy Holiday Dance Rhythms.
