Our Programs

Our goal is to provide our clients with choices, something for everyone! For the benefit of our new people and also for anyone who is curious as to what actually goes on in our various groups — Here is a brief rundown.

We now start our day with a delightful chat over refreshments and a snack with the Chown staff, volunteers, and students!

SteadyFeet

 

Our new SteadyFeet program runs from 10:45 to 11:25 A.M.  These exercises are aimed at maintaining and/or improving Balance and Mobility abilities. The development of this program is an ongoing collaboration between community organization, participants, and a wealth of health professionals within Vancouver Coastal Health.

 

Chat Group

Sometimes referred as the “Cozy Corner.” Join the relaxed environment where those interested gather in the lounge and kick back for stories/discussions and generally chat about topics of interest.

 

Physical Games

Join us for a spirited game. We offer carpet bowling, shuffleboard, chair volleyball, bean bag toss, bocce ball, and golf.  Who knows — your team may be the winner!  This is just a sample of what we offer.  We are always inventing new games.
