OCTOBER 3-9, 2022 | ACTIVE AGING WEEK 5
"This is a key aspect of the Open
House," she notes. "People can check
out activities like floor shuffleboard, floor
curling, urban poling, Zumba Gold and
strength and stretch. There will even be a
spin class, as well as functional tests and
brain games. You can take a good look and
see what activity you might want to get
involved in."
Thiessen adds that there will also be a
presentation on nutrition and healthy
aging.
"There's going to be a cooking
demonstration that focuses on nutrition,
particularly what older adults can do to
make better choices, and the challenges of
cooking for one. The better you eat, the
better you'll age in a healthy, vibrant way."
There will also be something else to
celebrate at the Open House: The Wellness
Institute's 26th Anniversary.
"The open house ties in perfectly with
our 26th Anniversary," she says. "There are
always new projects with new floors on the
second level, and renovations coming up
that are going to be making our clinic even
better."
