Silver Threads Service Keeps Seniors Active and Engaged in Victoria
Silver Threads Service, established in 1956, is making significant strides in promoting active and engaged lifestyles for seniors in Victoria, British Columbia. With a focus on physical fitness and recreational activities, the organization recognises the importance of remaining active as individuals age. Research supports the notion that increased activity can lead to better health outcomes for older adults, challenging the outdated belief that seniors should slow down.
Variety of Programs for All Interests
At Silver Threads, a diverse range of classes and activities cater to various interests and fitness levels. The centre offers regular fitness classes, chair yoga, and sports such as pickleball and table tennis, all designed to enhance muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. These benefits are essential for preventing falls and injuries, allowing seniors to enjoy activities like playing with grandchildren, dancing, or hiking with friends.
Beyond physical health, Silver Threads Service places significant emphasis on overall wellness. The organization provides fine arts programs that include singing, music, painting, crafts, and creative writing. These activities are crucial for enhancing cognitive function, problem-solving skills, and daily living abilities. Additionally, social engagement through these programs helps combat loneliness and isolation, proving that fun knows no age limit.
Convenient Locations and Evolving Offerings
Silver Threads centres are conveniently situated near Tillicum Mall in Saanich and close to Crystal Pool in Victoria. With over 40 different programs available each week, the centres are designed to introduce new activities and rekindle forgotten passions. Recent art programs have included ukulele for experienced musicians, a co-ed choir, and weaving, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to evolving with the needs of its clients.
For those interested in exploring the offerings, a comprehensive list of current programs and activities can be found on their website: www.silverthreads.ca. Alternatively, individuals can contact the centres directly at 250-382-3151 for the Saanich location or 250-388-4268 for the Victoria centre.
