PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Season’s Greetings!As I write this in October, on the heels of Thanksgiving and in anticipation of Halloween, our Fall programs are underway and the renovations of two of our kitchens are nearing completion. We expect the kitchens to be up and running in time for Winter programs. Look for exciting new cooking programs in this Guide. Additionally, the kitchens will be available to rent with their adjacent room. Details can be found on our website.

Visit our website at https://dunbarcentre.org/dunbar/ to register online and check for updates and upcoming events. Our new interactive program guide is user-friendly with program descriptions directly linked to the ActiveNet registration page.

We will once again be hosting a Lecture Series with Langara College faculty members. Check inside for details.

I’m very pleased to announce that our games room is now officially called the Gerry Massing Room. Come inside to see the plaque and photo commemorating Gerry, our much-loved past president who left us too soon. The DCCA Board of Directors is working on a new strategic plan, to update our mission and goals. We welcome suggestions and feedback. Let us know what you’d like to see offered at Dunbar Community Centre by completing our Needs Assessment Survey on our website (under News) or email me at: [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you around the Centre.

All the best,

Peggy Griesdalepresident, dunbar community centre association

Candlelight Yin YogaThis evening class brings a mellow and contemplative end to your day with candles and soft music. Yin yoga is a powerful but passive practice designed to bring more flexibility and deeper relaxation to the body. Yin targets the connective tissues of the body—ligaments, tendons and fascia —to open and lengthen, using a series of poses which are held for a length of time. Yin Yoga is a great de-stessor and practitioners often notice a sense of peace and restfulness. This is a fantastic complementary practice for a more active style of Yoga or indeed any intense physical exercise. The use of props ensures accessibility for almost anyone and modifications are given depending on individual needs. Tu Jan 14-Mar 24 7:30pm-8:45pm256265 $137.50/11 sessInstructor: Annabel Kershaw
