Given the current situation, the activities of our CVA (Centre de vie active) are cancelled until further notice. We encourage all seniors (who can read French) to consult the 4th special edition of our newsletter La Gazette, published on June 1, 2020 to keep you informed and hopefully to relieve some of the boredom!
Yoga videos
A member of the CAH staff met Anna Hardwick, an Anglophone who spoke French fairly well, in a yoga class and asked her to do some yoga sessions for the Francophones in the community. Let’s try this in the comfort of our homes! (Gossip: Anna Hardwick is an actress working in the Toronto and Canadian film and theatre world; she has also had roles in American films such as Birdman).

CAH’s exercice vidéos
When our recreationists are not available to conduct the CAH exercise sessions of the Adult Day Program, we present these videos made in by our dear Fabrice. They are all presented in French. You’ll see! They will get you moving, whatever your age! Each exercise sequence ends with a relaxation session.
