For those seeking a quieter activity, drop-in visitors are welcome to relax with a book, work on a jigsaw puzzle, or visit with friends.

The Centre also proudly supports the arts through ongoing exhibitions and sales in partnership with local artists and arts organizations. Our Main Hall often serves as a community art gallery and is open to the public whenever the hall is not in use for scheduled programs. Please refer to our calendar for gallery viewing hours.
