It is still July and we want you to enjoy your summer but as we head towards the Fall we hope you might take a moment and look at the Fall 2023 Program Guide for Silver Threads Service and save the date – September 5th to 8th is Try and Free Week. A great opportunity to sign up for a new activity and see if it is a fit for you!
Our 2023 Fall Program Guide with all our Centre Programs and Services is now available. Fall will be here before you know it and is the time that many of us start to think about restarting our fitness regimen or practicing lifelong learning and taking a class. For those 55 years and better, Silver Threads has over 80 different weekly programs, 48 different monthly events and 11 services in our guide. There is sure to be something to grab your interest. New offerings this fall include Bollywood Dance, Armchair Travel, and Soup Socials.
During Try it Free Week, there will be over 25 classes in two locations for you to attend and try at no cost. Just call and book a spot. We want you to be sure the activity will work for you. Never done Yoga? Here’s your chance. Ever wonder what Qigong is about or what the fuss about Pickleball is? We literally have everything from A to Z – from Art for Everyone to Zumba Gold to everything in between. There will be refreshments, and tours for new folks.
