"I attend this programme once a week in Grimsby (my daughter told me about it). Shabnam and Ahmar are good hosts whom I now consider to be friends. The exercise led by Laura is very beneficial - my wife says that my posture has improved since joining this group. Finally, everyone in the group is very friendly."

Meeting friends with similar goals, exercises that encourage movement, and being included in activities that warms my heart! Thanks to our leaders for embracing me into this wonderful club! Looking forward to many more fantastic days with everyone❤️"

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the relationship that the First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada have with the land all Canadians live on and enjoy. There are many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people from across Canada who have lived on and cared for the land from time immemorial. We stand with all Indigenous peoples, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live. We recognize that we must do more to learn about the history and current situation of Indigenous people so as to better understand our roles and take responsibility towards reconciliation as treaty people, residents, and caretakers.
