Community Development

Join us every Monday for Older Adults Day at the Rideau Heights Community Centre. Programs offer a variety of activities to keep you active, connected, and engaged.

Fun & Friendly Crafts is a drop-in craft group for area adults. New participants are welcome and can bring their craft supplies or use the provided ones. Members work in various art forms, including beadwork, looming, scrapbooking and cross-stitching.

Explore your neighbourhood like never before! This group is free and open to all ages. Poles provided & can be borrowed between sessions. Participants must be assessed by our physiotherapist on staff prior to the first class.

Each week, participants can look forward to learning a variety of cooking methods, how to follow and adapt recipes, make ingredient substitutions, and stretch their food dollars. The program also explores cultural foods and emphasizes using fresh, local ingredients. All are welcome.

This drop-in social group is held on Thursdays for individuals over the age of 55. Play games, participate in crafting, learn from guest speakers, meet new people and make lasting friendships. Refreshments provided.
