Calling all our beloved Kemptville senior citizens! Winter is just around the corner and, as much as we don’t want to think about it, we want you to feel prepared, confident, and ready to brave the weather! This November 6th we are hosting a Winter Driving and Roundabouts Information Presentation and Q&A session for our seniors’ community.

The talk will be hosted at the Grenville Mutual Insurance Community Room from 10:00–11:45am and will include light beverages, snacks, and valuable information.

Not only will the presentation include information to get you ready for winter, but we will also talk about all these new roundabouts in Kemptville—how they work, what the point of them is, and how to safely navigate them. We often have seniors come into our center asking why they have been added and why you can’t turn left. These are important questions and concerns, and we want to provide as much help for seniors as possible.

Why Winter Driving Preparation Matters

We’ve all been in situations when we are on the road and the conditions aren’t what we expected. Icy roads, reduced visibility, and unpredictable weather can make winter driving stressful. Let’s work together to ensure we are all ready to take on whatever winter throws at us!

Understanding Kemptville’s New Roundabouts

 Aside from winter driving, there has recently been lots of new construction in Kemptville. With the addition of many new roundabouts, we understand the difficulties not only construction, but new roadworks can cause. Roundabouts are becoming increasingly popular because they improve traffic flow. Unlike stoplights that cause traffic to abruptly stop, roundabouts keep traffic moving steadily, which reduces congestion and delays.

Additionally, roundabouts can reduce serious collisions. Due to their circular nature, roundabouts ensure vehicles travel at slower speeds and reduce head-on collisions.

Come find out more about roundabouts and how to drive safely through them at our presentation hosted by the Ministry of Transportation.

Why We’re Playing for a Purpose

While you’re showing off your brainpower, you’ll also be helping to make a real impact. Proceeds from the event will support Seniors’ Community Services, a local charitable non-profit dedicated to helping seniors and adults with physical disabilities live independently. Your participation helps us fund essential programs like transportation, meals, home support, and social activities that keep our community connected and thriving.

Event Details

Grab your friends, form a team, and come early to enjoy Kemptville Brewing Co’s craft drinks and delicious menu before the trivia begins.

Bonus Fun:

• Silent auction with unique items and experiences up for grabs
• A “Question Auction” round — bid for the right to answer a special question and boost your score
• Prizes for the top teams (and bragging rights, of course)

How to Join

Tickets are limited, so don’t wait! Purchase yours by calling Seniors’ Community Services at 613-258-3203  or emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Yoga for Seniors at SCS

At Seniors’ Community Services, we believe that aging doesn’t mean slowing down—it means moving smarter, caring for your body, and finding balance in new and empowering ways.

That’s why our Beginner Hatha Yoga for Seniors and Chair Yoga classes are designed specifically with you in mind. Whether you're looking to improve your flexibility, reduce pain, build strength, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment in your week, our yoga program offers a gentle, supportive environment where every movement is purposeful and accessible.

Discover the Power of Gentle Movement

Yoga is more than stretching—it’s a practice of mindfulness, breath, and movement that helps us stay grounded and vibrant at any age. Studies have shown that yoga can slow down the aging process, enhance mental clarity, and support better sleep, digestion, and mood.

Our classes are tailored to meet the unique needs of older adults. You don’t need to be flexible or have any prior experience—just come as you are. You’ll be guided through slow, steady movements that:

• Improve flexibility and range of motion
• Enhance balance and coordination
• Support healthy joints and bones
• Promote relaxation and reduce stress
• Foster a deeper connection between mind and body

Two Class Styles to Choose From

We know that everyone moves differently. That’s why we offer two gentle yoga formats, so you can choose what feels best for your body:

 Seniors Mat Yoga

A mat-based class designed for seniors who are comfortable getting up and down from the floor.
This class features slow flows, seated poses, and supported stretches to build strength and mobility.
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 9:30–10:30 AM

 Chair Yoga

Ideal for those who prefer or require seated movement.
This class is performed using a chair for support, making it an excellent choice for anyone with limited mobility, arthritis, or balance concerns.
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 10:30–11:30 AM

All classes are held in the lower level at 215 Sanders Street in Kemptville.

Why Seniors Love Our Yoga Program

" My walker stays mostly in the trunk now, and I do not rely on my cane. Yoga and exercise have helped me feel more flexible and stronger, and it is a great way to socialize with a wonderful group of people under the watchful eye of our instructor.” —  Stella, SCS Participant

Here are just a few of the wellness benefits participants have shared:

• Reduced joint pain and stiffness
• Increased confidence in movement
• Improved posture and breathing
• A greater sense of calm and focus

And the best part? Every time you attend a class, you're also giving back—all proceeds support Seniors’ Community Services and help fund local programs that benefit older adults.

Pricing & Registration

Your wellness is worth investing in.
Join us for 12 classes for just $100—an affordable way to care for your body, mind, and community.

Let’s move, breathe, and feel better—together.

We know the couch is cozy. Your cat is napping on your lap, the kettle just boiled, and honestly—moving sounds... optional. But what if we told you there’s a way to feel better, get stronger, and still keep that cozy vibe going?

Introducing our Stretch and Strengthen Exercise Classes at Seniors' Community Services! Whether you're hoping to improve balance, boost mobility, or just want to feel a little stronger picking up the mail or chasing the grandkids—this program is made for you.

Each class is led by a trained instructor who knows how to make fitness feel good (and doable). With a focus on improving coordination, building core strength, and increasing your overall range of motion, this is your gentle nudge toward a healthier, more active lifestyle.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Community

 Meals on Wheels has always been more than just a program at Seniors' Community Services (SCS); it’s a lifeline that helps seniors and adults with physical disabilities stay independent, healthy, and nourished. But beyond the meals, it’s about connection, support, and the incredible strength of our community. That’s why we dedicated last week to Champions Week, a celebration of the amazing volunteers, staff, clients, and community partners who make Meals on Wheels possible.
