The Glenbrook Community Association is pleased to offer a number of free daytime clubs and groups throughout the week, for those who are available to get involved. Below is a list of these activities and the schedule for the month of May and into June. If you are interested in trying out one or more of these drop-in clubs, please email [email protected] to let us know what groups you are looking to join. If you would like to come on a regular basis, a Glenbrook community membership is requested, but not mandatory, so non-members are welcome to try them out as well.
Tai Chi
Stability, balance, and flexibility are very important as you age. This exercise program can help you improve these factors and decrease health risks. Join your neighbours for a weekly half-hour session of gentle exercise and breathing. Bring dry shoes and a name tag.
Upcoming Dates: May 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 (All Tuesdays at 10:00 am)
