The Canadian Volkssport Federations Special Winter Walking Program started 15 October.
The program was set up to encourage everyone to get out and walk or participate in all the CVF programs during the winter months.
You are encouraged to do at least 60 walk events or snow shoe/cross country skiing until 31 March during the winter season.
This coming Wednesday 15 December, 1:30pm, you are invited to attend the Sydney, Year Round Event starting at the Cambridge Suites.
On this occasion our club President Joe MacKinnon will have already reached the maximum challenge of 60 Winter Events for the season.
Come Join Joe on this 10k walk as he reaches his 60 Event quest!
Members and guest may opt to do a 5k walk if so desired.
Some of our members who have already joined the program such as Carmel, Elsie, Judy and Lucy are not far from catching up with Joe.
So come on out and challenge yourself to keeping fit for the winter.
