Yoga is new to me and certainly taught me how to relax and breath, something I didn't know I needed help with. I have enjoyed the sessions and will watch for more in the future if they're offered.
Highlights & Happenings
Mahjong is Coming to Tobermory!
Exciting news for Tobermory! Northern Bruce Peninsula's Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) is working to expand its popular Mahjong Mavericks program to the Tobermory Community Centre, bringing more opportunities for fun, friendship, and connection to the northern end of the Peninsula.
Since launching at the Lion's Head Rotary Hall in January 2026, the Mahjong Mavericks have quickly grown into a thriving group of enthusiastic players. What began as a new recreational opportunity has become a regular social gathering where participants can challenge their minds, develop new skills, and enjoy time with friends and neighbours.
Mahjong is a tile-based game that combines strategy, memory, and a little luck. Whether you're an experienced player or completely new to the game, we look forward to bringing this exciting program to Tobermory.
Stay tuned for updates!
Seasons of Creativity with SALC!
Creativity has been in full swing this summer and fall as Northern Bruce Peninsula's Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) brought older adults together through a variety of arts and crafts workshops across the Peninsula.
From exploring new techniques to creating unique handmade projects, participants have enjoyed opportunities to express their creativity, learn new skills, and connect with others in a welcoming and social environment. Each workshop offers something different, encouraging participants to try something new while sharing ideas, laughter, and inspiration.
A big thank you to our talented local instructors and enthusiastic participants who have made these workshops such a success!
The creativity doesn't stop here! Stay tuned for more hands-on workshops and seasonal activities as we head into the winter months.
