Wellness Development Centre

The Wellness Development Centre (WDC) promotes the improvement of mental health and wellness for people experiencing mental illness in our community. We accomplish this by encouraging paticipation in a balance of healthy and fulfilling activities.

Here are some examples of activities organized at the  WDC:

  • fitness - gentle yoga, relaxation, bike rides, walking group
  • community outings - picnics, hiking & swimming at Paul's Tomb
  • various creative activities - making beeswax candles, decorating plant pots
  • skill building classes - meal planning, budgeting, fire safety & emergency skills
  • cooking class
  • networking with friends while having lunch or playing board games or a game of pool.

Nutrition is an important piece of wellness so we start our day by offering a healthful meal created by a team of participants and staff. Lunch is served at noon at a cost of $3.

Our hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11am - 4pm.
