Sports & Fitness

No matter what your activity level or age, you can probably find something here at the Buckhorn Community Centre that fits your needs. We have ongoing fitness programs, including exercise, yoga, pickleball, volleyball, bean bag baseball, badminton, and more for all ages. Some of these activities run all year, and others are offered during specific time frames.

Participants are required to sign a participation waiver before starting any activity at the BCC. You can download the waiver here.

Participants are reminded to bring indoor shoes to change into to help keep our floors safe for everyone! Please do not wear scents to class as some people are sensitive.

Costs for these activities vary. You can find out more about each program through the links.

We encourage you to confirm with the program leader before attending as some classes are occasionally cancelled due to events at the BCC.

Tai Chi 9:30am-11:30am - Tuesdays & Thursdays August 19 - Ongoing Instructor - Bob Keating BCC membership + $1 per class Non members $3 per session Tai Chi is becoming a popular trend as an exercise option for seniors. When designed for this age group, the movements are slow, with footwork choreographed by a leader. Participants learn to breathe correctly, focusing on how they intake and release air while moving. Concentrating on each movement helps the mind to relax and relieves stress. The person is often calmer and has more energy after a session. Deep breathing and learning to focus helps improve balance, which can help prevent falls and injuries. Please contact the BCC to Pre-Register (705) 657-8833
