Everyone knows Timothy Eaton’s, the iconic old building on the corner of Main and Stadacona that once housed Eaton’s Department Store.
Less well known is the building’s reincarnation into the Moose Jaw and District Seniors’ Association, a bustling social and activity centre for people aged fifty and over.
The centre offers a myriad of activities: pickleball, line dancing, billiards, shuffleboard, arts and crafts, card games, crib, nickel bingo as well as fitness classes.
Newly added activities include quilting, Scrabble and Texas Hold “Em.
Memberships are a steal at $40 a year for a regular membership. A $60 Enhanced membership allows use of the walking track and fitness centre in the basement featuring brand new equipment.
And, if that doesn’t whet your appetite, there is our exceptional Cafe - open to everyone Monday to Friday from 8 until 1 for breakfast and lunch. Not to be overlooked are Tina’s memorable Pie Tuesdays and Cinnamon Bun Thursdays!
New opening hours from 8 to 8 Monday to Thursday and 8 to 4 Friday are designed to entice members of the 50+ crowd who may still be working.
Pay us a visit! Stop for lunch! Stay and Play! At Timothy Eaton’s, you are always welcome!
