• One of the highlights of ‘For the Health of It,’ a health and wellness fair on Sept. 21, is the introduction of an abilities course that provides an opportunity for participants to try a physical course that gives them feedback on how they move in a variety of ways.
Coupled with a questionnaire, the information gained can be valuable in determining what is the best starting point for seniors wanting to participate in active health and wellness programs offered in the community.
Try out the abilities course, listen to engaging speakers and enjoy a free lunch. Call 604-541-8653 to register for this free event.
