Get active, eat well, be healthy – join Healthiest Winner!
Healthiest Winner begins again in April at both the Hillcrest Centre and Trout Lake Community Centres in Vancouver. Aimed at promoting healthier living through regular physical activity and healthy eating, this unique 12-week program partners VCH and the Vancouver Parks & Recreation Board.
If you are new to being active or haven’t been active for a while, this program is for you!
In addition to coaching from certified fitness leaders in low-impact and graded physical activities (i.e. entry level group fitness and Nordic Pole walking), there are free educational workshops on healthy eating, stress management and goal setting. New workshops are added each session, as our schedule permits.

Further financial assistance is available through the leisure access policy which allows some individuals to participate at half the cost.
