ongoing programs and projects
Exercise & Falls Prevention Online!
We are pleased to inform you that Circle of Care is now offering their exercise classes online through ZOOM! Circle of Care provides free exercise and falls prevention classes to older adults living in the community. The Falls Prevention program is led by an Occupational Therapist, and the Group Exercise Classes are led by trained fitness professionals. Classes are designed to help participants increase mobility, relieve pain and reduce the risk of falls by building strength and improving balance. Classes are funded by the Central Local Health Integration Network (CLIN), and are offered to eligible participants free of charge.
The classes have received RAVE reviews from our Armour Heights Community and run daily at 10:30AM, Monday to Friday! Each class offers a variety of options to challenge participants of all fitness levels. To view the full schedule and register for classes, click the button below.
If you have any other questions, please contact Erin Stone for details.
MILK BAGS INTO MATS! (& Egg Cartons Too)!
Thank you to everyone who has continued to bring in their milk bags (and yes, we are still collecting milk bags)! In 2021, we collected 510 milk bags - in 2022 we have already collected 459 milk bags and counting! Keep them coming! It takes between 500 and 800 bags to make a sleeping mat used for bedding in areas of devastation such as Haiti.
We also encourage you to bring in your egg cartons! Egg cartons help the Food Bank to repackage eggs that arrive in 3 dozen flats for distribution. Feel free to contact Erin for more information or to coordinate a drop off. Otherwise, we look forward to receiving your milk bags and egg cartons on a Sunday soon!
Many thanks to Gillian MacCausland for piloting this project that serves our community and our planet!
