As a child, you probably didn’t relish the thought of going to school every day. How things change. After retirement, mature students look forward to expanding their knowledge — and their social circles — in adult education classes focusing on everything from computer literacy to history, arts and philosophy. T he University of Winnipeg’s 55+ program offers courses on a variety of topics, including popular music, 1920s Winnipeg and criminal and civil court cases. Visit http://pace. uwinnipegcourses.ca/55-plus-program to find a course that appeals to you, and chances are you’ll meet new friends who share your interests. Creative Retirement Manitoba (CRM) offers a full range of classes covering everything from literature for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen to yoga and meditation, economics and how to build a Facebook page. You can join a CRM club — everything from book clubs to photography, science and computer clubs — and there are several special interest classes offered throughout the year. You might become an expert on Chinese tea or learn to read tea leaves, or you may want to do something completely different and spend Monday mornings in November taking part in the Monty Python Film Festival. Check out all the Creative Retirement opportunities online at www.crm.mb.ca, or drop by to pick up a brochure. The new CRM location at 1075 Portage Ave. , has free parking at the rear.

The opportunities to engage more fully in the community are almost endless.
