Free to current and former members of MBSA - Beginner Yoga! This program is geared to new or novice participants and will be an introduction to Yoga, teaching the basic poses in a safe environment. The program will focus on stretching, relaxation, flexibility, balance and core strengthening and can be done in the comfort of your own home. All you’ll need is access to Zoom (downloaded for free), a firm chair and comfortable clothing. The program will tentatively run on Wednesday evenings starting on January 6th and will run for 8 consecutive Wednesday nights. The class will be taught by our certified yoga instructor Doreen Wuckert. If you are interested, please send an email to Cathy so she can register you and send you the Zoom links!

A message from our President Norman Lyons: 2020 has been a challenging year to say the least with the COVID-19 Pandemic hitting us in February which resulted in the closure of our programs for most of the year. We realize how this as affected everyone and our hope is that 2021 is a year when all things get to normal. Thanks to all of you who supported our wine raffle, and congratulations to the winners. ... On behalf of the Board and staff I want to wish all of you Seasons Greetings.

Congratulations to our Wine Raffle Winners : 1. H.Hubert 2. B. Roman 3. C. Marzoff... Thank you to everyone who bought tickets, your support is appreciated!

Due to the recent announcement today from Dr. Roussin, all City of Winnipeg run facilities are closed effective the end of the day today. This means our swim lanes will be cancelled tomorrow (Oct. 30th), next Saturday (Nov. 7th) and possibly the 14th as well. Please stay safe everyone.

We are hoping to run our Cross Country Ski program from 1:30 3:00 pm at Windsor Park Golf Course starting Sunday January 3rd, based on the COVID designation in Winnipeg. There will be changes required and may be limited access to the clubhouse and number of participants. If you’re interested in skiing this winter, please contact Cathy by December 17th so we can determine the number of guides required.

Our gift cards are still for sale, they make a perfect stocking stuffer!
