Games and Crafts

Joining a knitting club can help you make new friends or catch up with friends you’ve already made and strengthen those bonds. Knitting has always been a social craft that lets you chat away while you craft your next scarf or a pair of socks.  It’s always good to stay in practice. Not only will you have ample opportunities to practice your needlework you may find new ideas for your next project. Members frequently trade knitting patterns or techniques and get inspired by each others’ projects.

The abstract game of Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six different colors. There is no board, players simply use an available flat surface.

Players begin the game with six blocks. The start player places blocks of a single matching attribute (color or shape but not both) on the table. Thereafter, a player adds blocks adjacent to at least one previously played block. The blocks must all be played in a line and match, without duplicates, either the color or shape of the previous block.

DROP-IN Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-NOON, at the Legion

Create stunning pieces of art using a huge variety of materials: bold, matt, shiny, iridescent and downright unusual. Combine them all to create stunning mosaics. A decorative art created from assembling small pieces of glass, stone or other materials, mosaic is great for ‘artists’ and

home to work with each week!

Ping - Pong is a lively game, yet it’s playable at the pace the competitors choose. In other words, because there are so many ways to benefit from the game, it’s not necessary to go full-tilt to enjoy it. The intensity of a good Ping - Pong game can be an excellent cardiovascular workout for seniors.  Stiff muscles and tight ligaments are put to work, and strengthening them will help reduce the risk for falls.

DROP-IN Wednesdays Quadra Community Centre Main Hall, 3:00-4:30 PM Sept 16 - Dec 16, 2026
