The District of Squamish (DOS) is joining in the celebrations for National Health and Fitness Day (NHFD) on Saturday (June 7). MP John Weston, who spearheaded the initiative in the House of Commons, and Acting Mayor Doug Race, will host a walk beginning at 2:45 p.m. Brennan Park Recreation Centre.
“Squamish is leading the world in terms of the fitness level of its residents,” Weston said in a statement issued by the DOS. “Their outstanding community leaders and council are working hard to serve the constituents of the ‘Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada.’”
The walk will follow the Corridor Trail from Brennan Park Recreation Centre and will finish at the Squamish Adventure Centre. The public is invited to join the walk. Brennan Park Recreation Centre is also hosting a toonie swim on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“With a never-ending list of recreational activities to choose from to stay fit in this town, it’s no wonder that Squamish residents take health and fitness seriously,” Race said. “We are very pleased to proclaim Saturday National Health and Fitness Day in Squamish, and look forward to MP Weston joining us to help celebrate.”
