Work at CSI for the day with our new Lounge Pass!

A dance party for senior citizens!

When CSI member Jacqueline Burke was researching brain injury and dementia, she learned there are three enjoyable ways to stay alert: music, socialization, and dancing.

These things are “critical to promoting stronger brain health,” she said. “And it’s fun.”

This research inspired her to create Club Platinum. This event welcomes folks 65+ of all mobility levels and all cognitive levels to dance the evening away to the hits of their generation. They are holding their first pop-up on September 27 at CSI Regent Park.

Get your tickets here!

Need more reasons to check it out? Health Canada recommends two and a half hours of moderate intensity aerobic activity each week, and amount only 37% of seniors are doing. There are also concerns that people over 65 can become socially isolated.

The clear solution to all of these problems is a dance party! As the poster says, even if you just dance with your hands, you should still come have a great night out. Caregivers or guides are free, and limited income tickets are available upon request.

(Not a senior, but think this still sounds like a pretty good time? Club Platinum is looking for volunteers to help set up, tear down, serve food and drinks, guide folks and make them feel comfortable!)

We have some big news! The world is changing and so must CSI! We told our members earlier today and now we want to tell you. CSI has made the decision to put 720 Bathurst up for sale and consolidate our operations into CSI Spadina.

One of the keys to CSI's magic is our Community Animator Program (CAP) and, specifically, the Community Animators themselves! Through this program, we've worked with more than 1,000 exceptional individuals who have each brought a little something different, and a little sparkle, to our spaces. And we're so glad to have had them in our community, because we've learned that each and every one of them has some exceptional talents, skills, and experiences to offer the world!
