The Glenbrook Community Association is pleased to offer a number of free daytime clubs and groups throughout the week, as well as special one-off events and opportunities. If you are interested in trying out one or more of these, please email [email protected] to let us know which one(s) you are looking to join. If you would like to come to any on a regular basis, a Glenbrook community membership is requested, but not mandatory.

Stability, balance, and flexibility are very important as you age. This program can help you improve these factors and decrease health risks. Join your neighbours for gentle exercise and breathing. Bring dry shoes and a name tag.
Upcoming Dates: February 6, 13, 20, 27 (all Tuesdays) at 10:00 am.

Crokinole
Do you remember this game? Use your finger and a checker to shoot an opponent’s checker off the board. Look up the rules or reach out to me if you might be interested in getting together with a few others at a convenient time and place to play. It is very sociable and lots of fun!

Mahjong
This is a popular, rummy-type tile game. Margaret has been teaching and hosting weekly mahjong games for the past year. She is ready to start another group for those who are interested in learning with other beginners, or you can join an existing group.
