Hurray!!!
The Independent Living Resource Center Calgary (ILRCC) turned 36 and unveiled some 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 brought back our popular LEARN programs: Art, Yoga, Music and Movement, Bowling and Cooking and so much more.
Membership Fee = $100 per individual for 3 months. For an additional $50.00 you can register for more programs for $50.00 each program. As promised, we will make a draw for everyone who registered for June, July, and August and we will make a draw on August 31 to receive $50.00 off your next registration.
All of our programs will be virtual or in-person at our office. Bowling at Chinook has started with a waitlist. Please call and register as we want to set up another day and time.

Information about the classes:
We have planted 2 gardens, one at the office and a larger garden in the SE. Lots of vegetables growing. We are always looking for volunteers to help with garden maintenance and weeding. We will let you know when the vegetables are ready to pick.
Call us and we can update you on the days and times when we will be at the garden and of course always dependant on weather or smoke restrictions.

Classes run for 12 weeks.
Classes will start on Wednesdays. You are welcomed to come to the office or cook online with our chef. Recipes and ingredients are sent out on weekly basis to help prepare you for the class.

Learn different styles and techniques for drawing and creating your own art pieces.

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 started at Chinook Bowling Depot.
Classes run for 12 weeks. Time 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Learn everyday conversation using ASL! Learn how to talk with your friends, children, parents, and co-workers who are Deaf.
Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm for 10 weeks. Our office is open and it is fun to come in person to learn sign language with other people.
Let us know which class you are registering for
Gentle Yoga – Wednesdays from 10:30 – 11:30
or
Slow Flow Yoga – Thursdays from 10:30 – 11:30
These one-hour classes move 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 Mondays from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm through Zoom or limited spaces available at ILRCC. This will be a great time for 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.
