Abbotsford offers a wide range of programming for Adults 55+. These programs are led by qualified instructors and facilitators.
Fitness classes are led by instructors who have their certificates to teach older adults. They encourage participants to strive towards their personal fitness goals. They also point out alternative exercises when a person is unable to fully participate in a group exercise due to injury or reduced capacity. Instructors will also recommend appropriate classes according to fitness levels and abilities.
Yearly ParQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) forms are filled out by every person participating in fitness classes.
Specialty classes such as Stained Glass, Art, Pottery, Bridge, Music Appreciation and Memoir Writing are all taught by qualified, competent instructors who enjoy working with older adults. We also host a number of clubs to keep keen members active in their areas of interest such as Opera, Bridge, Scrabble and Tai Chi.
Annual Surveys are conducted to help collect feedback from members.
