Simcoe Seniors Centre Activities
Delhi Senior Friendship Centre
We are changing our swim lesson program from the Red Cross to Lifesaving Society.
This change will take place in our Spring Session which starts after March Break.
Why the change? Here are the benefits of switching:
• Levels are more attainable and include fun items, while continuing to improve on skills
• More focus on survival skills and swimming ability versus perfect strokes
• Practical application of water safety in the water
• Leads seamlessly into the Society’s lifesaving training and leadership awards
• Municipalities in our surrounding area have already changed to the Lifesaving Program, therefore all pools in our area will be teaching the same program, and so there will be consistency with levels and less confusion if your child has taken lessons elsewhere.
The Delhi Friendship Centre is reopening in February 2022. The Friendship Centre offers recreational, social, and educational programs for seniors.
Activities include games, crafts, and fitness programs. Membership is $20 yearly plus activity fees and is open to anyone 50+.
The library is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
