Hey fitness enthusiasts! Our gymnasium is undergoing a makeover! We're giving the floor a much needed spa week with a strip, refinish and we are even adding some new pickleball lines to keep up with the ever growing sport. Let's face it, this floor has been working hard, it endures a lot of wear and tear seven days per week and we need to maintain proper care. We want to not only ensure a clean and presentable environment but also extend the lifespan of the flooring.
But fear not! We are relocating some of the morning fitness classes that are held in the gym to the Gale Arena so you can still get your sweat on.
The gym closure affecting our morning classes runs from Monday May 13 to Friday May 17. Please see the flyer above indicating what classes are running and those that are not.
Please also note that afternoon Pickleball is also cancelled for the week.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but when the floor is done, you'll be busting out those grapevines and lunges like a pro, gliding across the gym floor smoother than a buttered penguin on ice.
Psst, here's another secret perk of being a seasoned Older Adult member: you get VIP access to our newly introduced program, Short Mat Bowling!
Short mat bowls is based on the outdoor sport of lawn bowls so many of the rules are adaptations of the rules of the outdoor game with the basic aim being to deliver as many woods (bowls) as possible nearer to the smaller target bowl (the jack) than any of the opposition’s woods.
The short mat bowling is temporarily housed at the Gale Arena until our space is finished upstairs at MacBain. (Work is already underway) Come on out to the Gale Arena in the Memorial Room and try your luck. Bowls are available for use.

Just a friendly reminder: June is seniors month and boy, do we have some treats lined up!
