Dei is the cook who creates delicious breakfasts, lunches and take out dinners without using salt! Even the butter is no-salt-added. All food is cooked here in the Café. Hot breakfasts are available from 8 am. Food services are available for members and guests Monday through Friday from 8 am to 12:30 pm. Pay at the Café with cash or your debit card (sorry, no credit cards yet).
Lunch selection includes:
Library with books, puzzles, cassettes, and DVDs in different categories such as “Classics and Oldies,” “IMAX Collection,” “Romance,” “Educational,” “Non Fiction,” etc. Numerous books are in Large Print. Two stacks of DVDs of music (Nat King Cole, Elvis, Glen Miller, Doris Day… all the great ones!). If you like puzzles, there are over 15 to choose from, mostly 500 or 1000 pieces. Some audio books too. Taking out books and DVDs is by the honour system – no check out, just return when you are finished. Open whenever the Centre is open. Currently there is no need for more in the library, as all the room we have (including in storage) is full, so no more donations please! Hours: whenever the Centre is open. Contact: Roger Taylor 250-890-9422.
Computers (Windows desktop and Apple laptop) are nearby that can be used by members, with free Wi-Fi included.
The Gift Shop, located through the Cafe, is a tiny, unique space brimming with handmade crafts. Talented members with many years of experience design and craft items to sell. Crafted at home or in one of our Club workshops, Crafters showcase and sell to the community at affordable prices. Donating a percentage of their sales helps support the sustainability of the Centre.
The Gift Shop is run by the Gift Shop Gals, a group of dedicated volunteers.
We welcome you in to find that special Handmade Gift from the Heart Monday to Friday 10am-1pm (except statutory holidays).
Contact: Nancy Kremer 250-650-2193.
The quilts and paintings hanging outside the Gift Shop, are created by quilters and artists at the Centre and are rotated on a regular basis. All are for sale with a percentage of the proceeds going toward the Association. Come and look them over!
A Rock and Gem Shop, Glass Studio, Pottery Studio, Silversmith Studio, and Woodworking Shop round out the Centre’s facilities.
The Card Room is not only for the usual card games but there are other board games available for fun social time around the tables.
Special Occasion Cards are available. Do you know a member who would benefit with receiving a card for a birthday, illness, a death, or any other notable occasion? Contact Betty Edwards: 250-339-9752 or
