Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre's priority is keeping seniors safe and healthy. The meal delivery program to isolated seniors has the ability to deliver 600 healthy, balanced prepared meals each week. Volunteers deliver meals twice each week to isolated seniors. This program is a FREE program so not to add the stress of food access and financial burden to seniors who are isolated and on a fixed income. Those seniors are challenged to go shopping or do any banking as most are not well versed in technology or do not own any form of technology, which limits access.
Isolated seniors are greeted through a window with a friendly wave and receive morning phone calls to increase social connections.

Join Adrienne Shum for daily mindfulness practice in the heart of winter. Practising mindfulness meditation has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental health, and strengthen resilience. This course is designed to introduce the meditation-curious to simple, sustainable practices, while also offering support to those with previous experience.
Each day, tune in for a 20-minute video (on YouTube) of Adrienne unpacking the how’s and why's of mindfulness, and engage in the guided practice.
Mindfulness is accessible to many: you can sit or lie down, meaning it can meet your physical needs. This offering will emphasize high audio quality to serve those with vision impairment. Closed captioning can also be enabled for the deaf or hard of hearing.
Adrienne Shum has been a full-time yoga teacher in Winnipeg for over a decade, and now, with the off-camera technical expertise of David Quiring, is extending her offerings into the online world.

An intimate reading and discussion series, featuring authors and artists published by At Bay Press. Every Monday, we will host a session via Zoom with live-streaming on Youtube and Facebook for 8 weeks, starting Monday, January 4th 2021. Each week, an At Bay Press author (and artist if the book is a graphic novel or visual book) will read from their latest novel, poetry collection, or graphic novel. Readings will be followed by an open discussion with attendees, just like a regular book club, but better since the author of the work will be in attendance!
Each registrant will receive a free e-book (pdf format) of the work being read and discussed prior to the event. Each event will be approximately 1 hour long. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear from your favourite authors and be able to speak directly with them from the comfort of your own home.
