Our organization is all about getting out and enjoying life. Once a month we hold a luncheon featuring a home-cooked style meal which is normally followed by a guest speaker on a topic of interest to our members. Those attending are asked to pre-book and purchase a ticket; we have between 65-95 members joining us regularly. Bus trips to local places and events are popular. Summer trips provide the opportunity to get out of the city. Thursday morning’s art class has a loyal following while fitness classes attract those who want to get or stay in shape but don’t like working out alone. Monday and Thursday social afternoons offer something for everyone, so drop by for a game of pickle ball; play cards, Mahjongg and board games; shoot pool; or just share in an entertaining conversation over a cup of tea or coffee. Special presentations have featured health topics, travel, computer training, as well as mature driving.

PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES Monday to Friday from September to June we offer a variety of recreational & fitness activities, outings & bus trips, seminars & workshops as well as social afternoons. In July and August, we operate on a reduced schedule but plan outings to events such as Goldeyes baseball games, Rainbow Stage, Assiniboine Park Zoo, and out-of-town motor coach trips. Specific details are outlined in our Fall, Winter and Spring Program Guides which can be downloaded from our website at archwood55plusinc.weebly.com or pick up a print copy from our office. We do our best to keep participation costs for activities and events in line with seniors’ budgets and most special presentations are either free or at a nominal charge.

OH THE PLACES YOU’LL GO … Dr. Seuss Many members enjoy travelling with us.
