DROP-IN ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS

Colouring With A Cup of Cocoa
Saturday January 25th from 1- 3 p.m.

Drop into the branch and join other adults for a hot beverage and a simple creative activity. We will offer this program monthly.

Colouring offers tons of mental benefits. Just like meditation, colouring allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate anxiety.

We provide the coloring materials and the cocoa.
