It’s summertime at Silver Threads Seniors Club in Petawawa and along with the lockdown of our facility, we usually maintain a “slowdown” of most of the activities at this time of the year. Until further notice from our government, we have to continue to operate online with our activities. We will continue to offer frozen meals from Griffith Farm and Market and Faye has purchased a new supply of food items for your convenience.
