This FREE drop-in program is back in full swing and runs every Thursday from 10:00 am to noon.
Parents/caregivers and their children between 0-5 years are invited to join us for a combination of free-play, weekly planned activities (art, music, gross motor play, sensory activities, etc), social interaction and more.
We hope to see you there! Please contact Yaara (parentandtot@avonmore.org) if you have any questions or you would like to receive weekly updates.
Tuesday Classes: 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Instructor: Emily McNicoll
These classes are a unique opportunity to experience both the benefits or yoga and of being in a community. The instructors get to know you and your needs then tailor the classes accordingly. You also get to know your classmates. The before class chats are a great way transition from a busy day to the peacefulness of yoga.
Emily McNicoll takes a lighthearted, inclusive approach to teaching Hatha yoga. Her classes offer a wide variety of postures and practices. She's passionate about offering practices that are approachable to all levels of practitioner. In her classes you can expect to explore both strength and flexibility as well as techniques for mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation. Emily has been teaching yoga since 2008 in Edmonton.
Wednesday Classes: 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. & 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Instructor: Tori Lunden
Tori Lunden delights in teaching people who, like her, never thought yoga was something they could do or enjoy. Her emphasis on positive body awareness and respect for individual needs allow everyone to practice in a way that feels safe, accessible, and beneficial. Tori completed her first yoga teacher training in 2008 through the World Conscious Yoga Family in Rishikesh, India. She has since completed yoga training programs through Yogaworks, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, Paul Grilley and Leslie Kaminoff.
Join us for Halloween fun for the whole family! We will be collecting new socks for donation to the Mustard Seed. We're looking forward to seeing all the spooktacular costumes!

Dear 40 Year Resident:
On behalf of the Avonmore Community League I am inviting you for breakfast/coffee at the Avonmore Community Hall on the morning of November 3, 2018 between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. There will be coffee, tea, juice, pastries and fruit. Volunteers will be on hand to listen to and record some the stories you may have to share about life in Avonmore over the years.
This morning coffee/breakfast is part of the Avonmore Community League’s project to recognize long term residents in our community and record our history. We will also be collecting historical information, stories and pictures to use in a local history book and possibly a mural.
To recognize your commitment to the community we will be awarding all 40 year plus residents with honorary memberships in the community league. The honorary memberships will come into effect on September 1, 2019.
Please pass this invitation on to anyone you know you is a 40 year plus resident as we don’t want to miss anyone.
Thank you for building a great community and I look forward to meeting you on November 3 at the Hall.
Sincerely,
