Weekday morning walking group
Join a group of adults and seniors, who come out every weekday morning to walk the track at the Ingredion Centre in Cardinal, chat and enjoy each other's company from 8:00 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Adult fitness class
Join our boot camp–style fitness class for adults at the South Edwardsburgh Community Centre (24 Sutton Dr., Johnstown). This class is a great way to stay active through the colder months.
All sessions are taught by a trained, energetic instructor. Classes are open to all fitness levels.
Participants are asked to bring indoor shoes, water and a yoga mat or towel. Participants are also asked to fill out a Par Q Plus form and bring it to the first class.
Volunteering
Contact us for opportunities to volunteer within the Township. There are many reasons why it's a good idea to volunteer as a senior, including its social benefits, mental cognition improvement, the chance to give back to the community, physical engagement, the opportunity to learn something new, and its flexible time scheduling.
