“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.”
