Many individuals can benefit from what is often referred to as a “third space”—a place separate from home or work or school where there is no obligation to spend money on food or beverages. So we’re opening our doors to members of our community.

We invite you to drop in and use our space to help you unwind or recharge—with no pressure to engage in structured activities. We have several rooms and spaces available–a quiet lounge, computer desks, hang out sofas–you choose. It’s your time to use your way.

Our drop-in hours this week are 3:00 – 7:00 p.m.

  • Exploring Resources: Learn about other programs, events, or services Sinneave offers

The sessions are in-person at The Ability Hub located on the 3rd floor of the Child Development Centre at 3820 24th Avenue NW. The best part is that the sessions are free! You can choose to attend all six sessions or pick the ones that align with your interest or greatest need, no advance registration is required.
