Silver Harbour Social Dance

NORTH Vancouver's Silver Harbour Centre is a great place for seniors. Their list of activities goes on and on, and so do their members. There's no slowing this group down as there's always lots of socializing and hobby crafts and music and dancing. Social Sunday is a popular event and is always well attended. Once a month, usually the first Sunday of the month, there's live music and dancing at the social. Non-members are also welcome. Be sure to contact the centre for more information at 980-2474.
