Monday Crib: 1st-Ed & Marion, 2nd-Della & Laurel, 3rd-Paul & Merle.

Welcome to 2016, all our programs are back up and running this week.

Chair exercises: Is there anyone interested in participating in chair exercises on Mondays at 3 p.m. at the Centre starting Feb 22?

The physiotherapy students will be coming to do an “intake” at Northern Health for a number of weeks and will be providing a session of exercises for our members. These sessions are always lots of fun and do give you a good work out. Please let me know if you are interested in these exercises by calling 627-1900 or e-mailing seniorsc@citytel.net.

I would hate for the students to come and no one shows up! Thank you!

Foot Care: Wednesday, Jan. 20 starting at 11a.m. with Jaspal.

There is not enough space to talk about all our program so please visit us to find out more.
