It’s July and summer is here and we hope that you might consider Silver Threads Service as part of your summer plans. We are a charitable, not-for-profit that provides programs and services for those 55 years and better. We offer two locations with a wide variety of fun and vibrant activities, especially this summer. Trying something new and visiting somewhere you haven’t been before is good for your health. It shakes off the cobwebs, lifts your mood and gives a feeling of accomplishment.
Our Summer Program Guide is now available online www.silverthreads.ca with a complete listing of all the July and August programs that are offered in our two locations. At the Victoria Centre, located at 1911 Quadra Street, near the Victoria Police Station, there are Summer Outings, daily functional fitness classes, art programs, Ukulele, and Discussion groups.
The Saanich Centre is at 286 Hampton Road, not far from Tillicum Mall and has good parking for those who are driving. New this summer is the Introduction to Belly Dancing, and the ever-popular Badminton, Pickleball and Table Tennis.
Both Centres offer Monthly Socials, Movies, Yoga, Essentrics, Fitness and so much more! We welcome you to come into the centre, pick up a Program Guide, have a tour and meet our staff. We have online registration as an option to sign up for our Annual Membership and classes. Or give us a call, you can reach the Saanich Centre at 250 382-3151 and the Victoria Centre at 250 388-4268.
