You might not be able to get to a gym to get fit or sit in a classroom to produce your artwork, but the city will still be providing those spaces.
The city’s new Virtual Arts and Recreations Centre will kick off this week — an online centre that offers classes from anything to learning a new language, recipe or instrument and beyond.
And it can all be done from the comfort of your home.
“Staying active and occupied with live-streamed, interactive classes is a perfect way to promote physical and mental well-being,” the city said in a statement.
The centre offers a mix of short workshops and multi-week courses that will start on Monday, January 25 for every age group.
Programs include:
- Language classes (French and Spanish)
- Science, technology, engineering and math programs
- Cooking classes
- Virtual arts: drawing, painting and digital arts
- Fitness: Zumba, bootcamp, yoga
- Dancing: ballet, hip hop and others
- Martial arts, Tai Chi
- Leadership programs
Winter class offerings will be online on the city’s website on Monday, January 11, with registration starting on Thursday, January 14 at 9 p.m.
