There is a wonderful variety of drop-in activity groups being offered at the Kent Street Activity Centre Monday through Saturday. All week long, the centre is busy with people coming and going, meeting for lunch and enjoying our lending library.
Anyone wishing to come and check out an activity such as carpet bowling or the computer club may do so up to three times before taking out an annual membership. Come and see one of our friendly staff members at the office and ask for your “Be My Guest” pass. This pass will entitle you to three visits to the activity groups of your choice.
