For all the challenges 2020 has presented, it has also encouraged us to examine different ways of how we can safely deliver programs to our members. I am delighted to announce that the Coronation Centre has been awarded a Seniors Community Grant from the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. This will allow us to offer virtual classes to our members for free!
Who doesn't love free? And who doesn't love being taught by your favourite instructor, safely in your own home?
For those of you who prefer to join via telephone, you can join us for Trivia and Bingo. Please let other members you may know who don't have a computer or device know about these programs.
The Ministry's grant will allow us to bring programs straight to you via Zoom beginning Tuesday, January 5 and will run until the end of March 2021. All of the classes will be live. It's up to you if you keep your camera on or not. Please also mute yourself upon arrival (hellos are welcomed though) This is our first time delivering these types of programs and I am sure we will have some growth pains, so please bear with us!
If you have questions about Zoom, or are just unsure about how to participate in any of these programs please contact me
Do you have a great idea about an online program that you’d like to see? Whatever your flavour of fun and fitness- or interest, I would love to know about it. But for now please enjoy all of the awesome programs outlined below.
Stay tuned for special guest speakers and presentations coming your way soon.
