Our Lifestyle Section features several exciting activities. The participation fee is a toonie ($2), and there is a 50/50 draw for a loonie ($1). During intermission, refreshments like tea, coffee, and cookies are provided. Most activities take place from September to May, with a few exceptions, including a Christmas celebration and a season-ending banquet. Everyone is welcome to join.
ACCESS ART
This group gathers on Wednesday afternoons at 1 PM from September to June. Members explore different mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, oils, pastels, collages, pencils, and ink. The themes range from abstract to realistic art. People of all skill levels are encouraged to join.
BOOK CLUB
The book club convenes on the fourth Thursday of each month at 1 PM. Members share insights about their current reads, and there is typically a special reading assignment focused on a book, author, or topic. Refreshments are provided, and a book draw takes place. The fee is a toonie ($2), which helps cover refreshments and large print books for the Bayshore Library.
CRAFTS
The craft group meets on Tuesday afternoons at 1 PM from September to June, except for the second Tuesday of each month. Members create various crafts for the Craft Bazaar and charitable causes. There are always experienced members ready to teach newcomers knitting or crocheting. The group contributes a significant amount of money to Bayshore annually from their sales.
WOOD CARVING
Wood Carvers meet on Friday afternoons at 1 PM. All are invited to participate, regardless of experience, in activities such as chip carving, relief carving, sculptures, and wood burning. Some tools are available for new members.
