Activities

Club Ami offers a range of activities that aim to promote socialization between members, to encourage them to bond and to favor an atmosphere that allows them to flourish.

Outings

We frequently organize visits to galleries or museums. It is also possible to take part in walks in the neighborhood, its parks and its various emblematic buildings. Enjoying a picnic with the members and the team is also common. Different visits can be organized according to the wishes of the members, the team, the volunteers and the trainees. An annual outing is planned at Saint-Zotique Beach and at the sugar shack. For two years now, we have been visiting the Tessa Gardens located in Frelighsburg.

Many other activities are organized to allow members to explore Montreal. For example, we go to the cinema, to the Montreal Botanical Garden, to the Planetarium and to cultural centers in and out of the Côte-des-Neiges area, to the Parc des Rapides in Lachine to do ornithology, to the Morgan Arboretum in Sainte- Anne-de-Bellevue and we are open to organizing outings to any place that we find welcoming!

Movement workshops

Led by a professional dancer, the movement workshops allow members – regardless of their experience with dance or with physical activity and their mobility – to stretch their legs, to move, and as many testify: “It feels good! They also provide an opportunity to change the routine of the room where we often sit down to chat.

Drawing workshops

Led by a guest artist, these workshops bring together the necessary conditions for creation while fostering an atmosphere of sharing between the artist-members who take part in this activity.

Digital literacy

Digital literacy workshops are training courses that aim to equip members to use different digital devices.

Therapeutical concerts

Many people at Club Ami are music lovers. This is why we try, about once a month, to offer a therapeutic concert where members or guests, amateur or professional musicians, perform for our benefit. It produces great happiness from our ears to our hearts!
