Have Fun, Learn, Make Friends, Support Our Community
In addition to our monthly general meetings, our club has 40 interest groups that provide opportunities to learn, to develop friendships, to travel and to become more involved with our community.
In the past, groups have met in members’ homes, neighbourhood parks, restaurants or have arranged tours to local places of interest. Payment of the annual membership fee entitles a member to join as many groups as she wishes. Each group has a Convenor, but individual meetings or outings are organized by volunteers from the groups. Depending on the activity additional fees may apply.
Covid-19 and distancing protocols have altered the how and where groups meet. Convenors have been creative and where possible groups are meeting via Zoom. Members can see who to contact to find out what is happening and how to join a particular interest group by checking out the list on the Quick Link Page in the Members Only section.
We do accept members throughout the year (see our Membership page).
We encourage members to start new groups on these topics or other areas of interest e.g. activities that can extend into the summer, or partnership with other charitable organizations such as home visits to vulnerable seniors, donation of harvest to Food Bank, summer getaways, photography……etc. The Interest Group Convenor would be happy to assist anyone wishing to start a new interest group.
There is something for everyone!
