Hurray!!!
The Independent Living Resource Center Calgary (ILRCC) turns 36 and unveils exciting recreation and entertainment programs. It’s been over 3 decades of improving lives, meeting friends, and learning; we are introducing some new programs such as Finances and budgeting, Literacy, Community Garden, Cooking from around the world, and American Sign Language.
We want to bring back our popular LEARN programs: Art, Yoga, Music and Movement, Bowling (when it is safe to gather) and so much more.
Membership Fee = $150 per individual for 3 months. This is for unlimited programs. You can attend as many programs as you want. Everyone who registers for June, July and August will be able to put their name in for a draw to receive $50.00 off their next registration.
All of our programs, except for Bowling will be virtual, with some limited in person space until we are able to have you come to our centre again.

Learn different styles and techniques for drawing and creating your own art pieces.
Classes run for 12 weeks
Classes will start on Tuesday from 1:00 pm- 2:00 pm.
The outcome would be to set up an online Art show and hopefully sell the drawings and the sales would be returned to the artist.
Saturday Bowling is starting at Chinook Bowling Depot.
Classes run for 12 weeks. Time 1:0 pm – 3:00 pm.
Learn everyday conversation using ASL! Learn how to talk with your friends, children, parents, and co-workers who are Deaf.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm for 10 weeks
Gentle Yoga – Wednesdays from 10:30 – 11:30
Slow Flow Yoga – Thursdays from 10:30 – 11:30
These one hour classes moves at a slow pace for people new to yoga or for those simply interested in stretching and moving mindfully. Students will learn breathwork, terminology and basic
essential yoga poses, which include both standing and floor postures to create a foundation for their practice. Longer holds combined with focused breathwork unwind and relax the body and, with that, the mind follows and unwinds. This often results in having a more restful sleep.
Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome!
This will run for 8 weeks
Dance to the oldies, country, pop, and rock. Safely mingle with old and new friends on Monday mornings from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm through Zoom or limited spaces available at ILRCC. This will be a great time of music, movement, and community. DJ Sparkles is happy to take requests so put on your dancing shoes and join the fun!
This will run for 12 weeks.
We are replacing FNOA with Friday Night In and Around (FNIA) and will have different activities each Friday night. (Karaoke, Movie night, Games and Bingo – with prizes).
Stay tuned for upcoming dates and times once Covid restrictions are lifted.
We are bringing you this new program once more restrictions have lifted. We will be going to various locations in the city and participating in a variety of activities. We are going to restrict our numbers in the beginning and will open to more people at a later date.
Times will be determined soon.
