The Young Adult Group
The creation of the Young Adult Group (YAG) was initiated by Yvette Swan, the student intern, and the Group met for the first time early January 2009. Since its conception, the Group has grown to include young adults from all walks of life and different faiths. The Group meets every other Wednesday, engaging in activities ranging from mini-putting and bowling to movie nights. The goal of the YAG is to foster a local social network full of fun, laughter and good conversations. We look forward to receiving new members and taking the gatherings outside with the coming good weather.

Cubs
For boys and girls ages 8-10, Cubs meet Thursdays at 6:30 pm. With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cubs are encouraged to try new and more challenging activities. Learning important first aid skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought possible. Cubs also experience an exciting variety of other activities: games and sports, model-building, music, story-telling and play-acting.
