SENIORS' SCENE: Sweet ideas at Kent Street

Family Day and Valentine's Day are the theme behind just a few of the goings-on at Kent Street Activity Centre this month.

It’s Family Day on Feb. 9, and there is a free skate at Centennial Arena from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Free admission, rentals and refreshments – open to all ages.

Don’t wait until the last minute; be sure to include us in your Valentine’s plans.

Kick up your heels at Kent Street’s Feb. 11 dance, stop by the Kent Street Coffee Shop for a Valentine’s treat, or take your sweetheart out for a Silver Blades skate at Centennial Arena Feb. 11 or 13.

White Rock Leisure Services is now selling gift certificates. They can be used for any of our fitness, art, dance or special-interest registered programs.

The Kent Street Senior Society will host a Book and Bake Sale on Saturday, Feb. 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Kent Street auditorium.

There is something for everyone at super-low prices.
