ABOUT:

The Manotick and Area Centre for Arts & Wellness focuses on intergenerational connections for seniors through arts and wellness. In 1955-56, Manotick United Church was expanded to include a hall that served as the only community centre for many years. In keeping with tradition, this space has been used for a multitude of activities such as Tai Chi, Yoga, art, music, and dance classes as well as community dances. Our popular concert series focusses on our local singers and musicians.

MACAW is grateful for the many local volunteers and initial funding in part by the Government of Canada's New Horizon for Seniors Program which allow our virtual and live events and activities to take place. We also appreciate funding and support from  the United Church of Canada, the Manotick Village and Community Association and other other private donors.
