Do I need a doctor’s note?

No, though we always suggest telling your doctor you are starting a new activity program.

Are classes offered in my city?

We run classes across all eight localities we serve, rotating through senior centers, libraries and churches.

Staying well

These are not exercise videos. They are nationally recognised programs with published outcomes, taught by trained leaders in your neighbourhood.

What you get

A Matter of Balance
An eight-session program that reduces the fear of falling and increases activity levels.
Chronic disease self-management
A six-week workshop for living with diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and more.
Walk With Ease
An Arthritis Foundation program that builds walking stamina and reduces joint pain.
At-home exercise
Guided routines you can do in a chair, in your living room, at your own pace.
Healthy eating
Practical nutrition sessions built around real budgets and real kitchens.

Adults 60 and over. Some classes welcome caregivers alongside the person they care for.

Most classes are free thanks to grant funding. A few carry a small materials fee.

One call reaches every program. Family members can call on someone’s behalf with their permission.
