Remember fallen soldiers and those who serve to protect us on Remembrance Day
Several years ago, Sarah MacKeigan, one of our teachers at the time suggested that rather than just closing for Remembrance day that we doing something positive to support the veterans.
We decided to have a karma class on Remembrance day. Read What did you do special for Remembrance Day post to find out how well the event went. From that suggestion came our yearly Remembrance Day Karma class.
Check out our Karma class page for the details about how our Karma classes work.
All of our regular classes are cancelled on that day and we offer several special yoga classes that evening.
All of the proceeds raised during the event are donated to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund. They use the money collected to help support the health and well being of our veterans.
This year we are offering 2 classes on Sunday evening November 11:
- 7:00 pm flowing yoga with Steve
- 7:00 pm Qigong with Jack
All funds raised through the poppy campaign directly support Veterans, serving military, and their families. Your donations help support:
- Programs and assistance for Veterans and serving military in need, and their families.
- Medical training and research, and provide community medical appliances to assist in the care of Veterans.
- Services through Canadian Military Family Resource Centres.
- Housing and care facilities for elderly, disabled and homeless Veterans.
- Bursaries for children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Veterans.
- Veterans drop-in centres and meals-on-wheels programs.
- Sponsorship of cadet and youth programs.
