The Cathedral Village Community Association is dedicated to making the Cathedral Area a vibrant neighbourhood with a hometown feel and a rich sense of community. We offer a variety of classes for all ages and interests. Those participating in our programs are asked to have a valid community association membership. If you don’t have a community association, or your community association doesn’t sell memberships, our memberships cost $10 per family for 12 consecutive months. Please visit our website or Facebook page for more information or call or email the office directly.
Book Club: Queen City Urbanist – The Queen City Urbanists are a community of curious minds looking to push YQR into the future. Each month, we’ll read a book that delves into the complexities of urban living, from architecture and design to politics and social justice. Through discussions, debates and recommendations, we’ll delve into the latest ideas and trends shaping our urban landscapes and imagine a more equitable, sustainable and vibrant future for our city.
Parent & Baby Group – Bring your baby to an informal group setting and hang out with other parents with babies. Have a new parent/baby related question and need a group of peers to offer an opinion? Or just need to talk with other parents that get what you’re going through? This is the place for you!
Qigong – or “Life Energy Cultivation,” has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for more than 4,000 years. It is a practice based on aligning gentle rhythmic movements, awareness and breathing. Qigong promotes balance, flexibility, strength, and a calm mind. It enhances and promotes healing and the immune system. It is suitable for all ages and levels.
Tai Chi Chih: Beginner – A tool for self healing. Softness, flow & effortlessness are guiding principles in the practice. It is often thought of as a moving
meditation because of the calming effect on the mind & emotions & the release of tension throughout the body.
Tai Chi Chih: Advanced – Open to anyone who attended Tai Chi Chih: Beginner. Everything covered previously will be reviewed & fine tuned. The philosophy of Tai Chi Chih will be delved into a little deeper. Each session will include full practices of all 20 movements of Tai Chi Chih.
Tai Chi Chuan – This class focuses on learning the Yang style 24 form as a martial art as well as promotion of health. It will also include a Quigong set with a focus on general health through a rebalancing of body, mind & breath. The class will be led by Siheng Wybo Ottenbreit-Born who has studied Tai Chi under Sifu Eric James from the Prairie School of Tai Chi Chuan for over 10 years.
