SPRING + SUMMER

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings Neighbours!

As I prepare this article for the next program calendar there is snow on the ground but spring is not far off.

Centre staff have been busy designing this program season. We hope you enjoy these exciting programs for spring and summer with your friends and families.

This year the community centre beehives will be at ground level outside the front entrance.

You can stop and watch the wonders of Mother Nature on your way into the Centre. Last year honey from our hives was a big seller at the Dunbar Craft Fair in November. If the bees and the weather cooperate we should have another good harvest this fall. If you are planning your garden I would ask you to plant some bee friendly selections so that there is lots of nectar in the neighbourhood to satisfy our bees.

At the recent directors’ meeting the budget was approved for the renovation of two kitchens in the building.

Once all the paperwork is in order, and the necessary permits obtained, work will commence to allow us to expand our program offerings to include food preparation for programs and for rentals. This is the conclusion of many years of planning by some of the current and former directors and will be a fine addition to our facility.

Remember that May is Salmonberry Days in Dunbar and we will once again host the Salmonberry Days Community Fair on May 26th. This is a wonderful family day for all ages and we look forward to fine weather and lots of fun.

We are looking forward to another busy summer of day camps full of exciting trips and adventures for children aged 6-12 years old. Our team of leaders are looking forward to welcoming your children to Dunbar Community Centre this summer!

I will see you at the Centre. As you plan your summer activities, just a reminder that the community centre is now open on Saturdays year round.

All the best, Colleen

Education Story Time in English and Cantonese (2-3 yrs) new

Kids love story time. Why not have story reading and learning a new language at the same time? Research shows that children are best at hearing and producing different phonetic sounds before the age of 3, according to Francois Thibaut, director of the Language Workshop for Children, in New York. Exposing a child to more than one language also has positive correlation to a child's cognitive development. We will be reading stories in both English and Cantonese.

Feel free to suggest your favourite stories for story reading time as well.

Candlelight Yin Yoga

This 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-stressor 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.
