Wednesday Weekly Chat and Coffee: On Wednesday mornings, between 9:15 and 11:15 am, neighbours and friends drop-in to the main floor of Oakridge Community Centre for Chat and Coffee Time. The area is buzzing with a mixture of seniors and friends who like to mingle and be active in small standing groups or at the tables. During September and October, new individuals came by each Wednesday. With busy lives, the attendees vary from week to week. Email Bruce at [email protected] to be added to our contact list, or for details and questions.
