Crafts, Hobbies and Special Interest
Art Group (Late Bloomers)
Find the Monet within. There’s no instructor and just a fun, supporting group of people who are more than willing to help you get started. Choose between acrylics, water colours, and oil-based paints, and begin creating your own masterpieces today. We charge a small participation fee of $10 per year, which covers materials we keep on hand for newbies as well as other things used by the group.
Cinema Club
Twice a month enjoy a film in good company!
Computer Club
Jump into the Information Age with several exciting programs that the Computer Club has to offer. Popular programs include: scanning, genealogy, and graphics, while some members have even received training in computer maintenance and website construction.
Drama Club
The Second Stage Players perform plays and skits for Evergreen audiences. We welcome new members to join our cast and crew. Previous experience is NOT a prerequisite. Our goal is to have fun and support each other!
Fabric Painting
Come learn the art of painting fabrics through projects with tablecloths, aprons, and pillow slips. The projects will also include tracing various patterns, so come in for a peek; new faces are always welcome!
Genealogy Club
Curious about your family’s heritage? Ever wonder where friends and loved ones have their roots? Join us once a month and discover who you’re related to, and just what they were doing all those years!
Hooks, Needles and Yarns Club
Enjoy some time working on your own projects or creating items for donation (using donated materials) such as cat mats for rescues or lap blankets for the elderly, among many possible projects. Bring your knitting, crocheting, beading, macrame, embroidery, weaving, or anything else you're working on (no charcoal or paint please). Best features of this group? We learn, have fun and share lots of laughter!
Lacemakers Club
We are a friendly group who enjoy making lace by hand, so we work with a lot of fine threads and yarns. Yes, it does take patience and focus, but we enjoy the challenge. Along with lace knitting, crochet and tatting, many of our members make bobbin lace. The latter requires more investment into equipment but we do have a few donated lace making pillows and bobbins, and can help beginner's get a start. Anyone wishing to bring their own projects and share in a friendly atmosphere are welcome. Members of the Evergreen Centre are always welcome to drop by to see what we're doing and consider joining us.
Meet and Greet Singles Club
The aim of the Meet and Greet Singles Club is to bring together those members of the Evergreen Seniors, who are without partners, to socialize and participate in activities with others of similar interests.
Quilting
The quilters create the lovely quilts you see in the Filberg raffles, as well as custom quilts if desired. All proceeds from sales go back to the Evergreen Club, so you can have fun quilting and feel good supporting the club at the same time!
Stamps
They’re not just for mailing anymore! Meet with other stamp aficionados once a month to share and admire collections, or start your own for the first time!
Trivia
Members of this fun and relaxed club bring their own questions to challenge each other. Always lots of laughs!
Writers Club
A group of aspiring and published writers meet together monthly. We share our writing and either write from a topic some other piece we have written. If the writer wants some feedback we do that respectfully. We brainstorm about ideas, and information of interest to writers. It is a motivating and inspiring time!
Music and Dancing

Cycling
The best part about riding a bike is that you never forget, so put that muscle-memory to use and come cycle! Cycling is a great way to stay in shape, and many of our members choose to enter the Seniors’ Games as the capstone of their training. Find the champion within!
Darts
Sign up for the darts, stay for the company. Darts is held once a week in the Rotary Hall, and provides both a non-competitive atmosphere and time to socialize. New and beginning players are always welcome.
Floor Curling
For those who miss the icy chill of the rink, give the indoor version of one of Canada’s favourite winter sports a try! Played and scored like its snowy sibling, floor curling instead uses lighter wooden rocks and requires no sweeping. It’s a great game for former ice curlers, and new members are always welcome!
