Healthiest Winner begins again in January at both the Hillcrest Aquatic 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 awhile, this program is for you!! In addition to coaching from certified fitness leaders in low impact and graded physical activities, there are free educational workshops on healthy eating, stress management, and goal setting.
See flyer for more details or check the VCH Events calendar.
You can also pick up a Winter 2013 Hillcrest Aquatic Centre Program/Leisure guide and/or the Winter 2013 Trout Lake Community Centre Program/Leisure guide.
All are welcome, with VCH employees eligible for a 25% discount. Further financial assistance is available through the leisure access policy which allows some individuals to participate at half the cost.
Please help us promote this program by sharing it with your colleagues, community partners, and clients.
If you are a Health Care Professional recommending and/or referring to the program, we suggest supporting your clients in filling out a ‘PAR-Q and You’ and/or a ‘PARmed-X’( physician only form, use as necessary) ensuring your client is ‘ready’ and ‘medically safe’ to increase activity and/or exercise. We have provided the respective attachments and/or links to the forms http://www.csep.ca/english/view.asp?x=698 (NB PAR-Q+ form is not yet admissible). This is not a medically supervised program.
