On September 22nd, 2024 we will mark 70 years of resilience and courageous spirit and presence, as Bloor Street United again rebuilds and renews!
We’re doing this with a Jazz Service, because Jazz is the soundtrack of the resilience of human dignity and worth. It’s the collaborative and renewing music of justice and hope. It’s improvisation and melody, rhythm and beat. Jazz is alive!
Join us as Bloor Street United rises up once again, with music, and spirit, for The Jazz Service, Sunday, September 22nd at 2:00 p.m. at St. Matthew’s United Church, 729 St. Clair Avenue West. It will be led by Revs. Douglas duCharme (from Bloor Street United Church) and Brian Fraser (Brentwood Presbyterian Church and lead provocateur of Jazzthink Consulting).

Rimbala Classes for Seniors
2024-09-26 10:00 - 11:00 | Ontario
Rimbala is an evidence-based falls prevention program that uses music as the principle means of intervention. Based on the work of visionary Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Rimbala enjoys one of the highest falls prevention results in the world, with a 54% reduction in falls for community-dwelling seniors.
Older adults improve their gait (walking style), mobility, cognitive skills and social intelligence in a relaxed but joyous setting. The improvised music brings fresh neuroplastic experiences that improves the connection between the body and brain in ways that conventional exercise cannot. Because music is broadly distributed in the brain, there is a hypothesis that gentle exercise with cognitive components can prevent participants from the ravages of dementia — including Alzheimer’s.
For more information, please visit: www.rimbala.com
Classes are held at:
Rosedale United Church 159 Roxborough Dr, Toronto Wednesdays 11:30 AM-12:30 PM $20.00 per session
and online at various times throughout the week.
Please contact Dr. Daniel Rubinoff: 416.709.8381 doctor.rimbala@gmail.com
