🌍💙 Happy World Diabetes Day 💙🌍

Today we stand together as a community to honour our strength, our stories, and our shared commitment to wellness. Diabetes affects many of our families, and raising awareness helps us support one another in living healthier, empowered lives.

We also want to say thank you to everyone who reached out about our Diabetes Wellness Baskets — at this time they have all been claimed! The response was incredible, and they went fast!

To claim a basket, community members were asked to call our Nurse Taylor at the health center, and we appreciate everyone’s interest and participation. Those who called, your baskets are ready for pick up this afternoon!

Your engagement shows how much our community cares about wellness, prevention, and supporting each other.

Let’s continue to walk this path together, lifting each other up and taking steps toward healthy living for ourselves and the generations to come. 💙🌿

We braved the cold today!

A little drizzle didn’t stop us - Taylor and Darce got a group out for a 40-minute Nordic walk with great company, fresh air, and plenty of smiles on the land! 💚 It’s always amazing what a bit of movement and laughter can do.

Did you know? 🤔
✨ Nordic walking can burn up to 46% more calories than regular walking!
✨ It engages over 90% of your muscles, giving a full-body workout.
✨ It’s gentle on your joints and great for balance, posture, and strength.

We’re hoping to plan more group walks on some crisp and sunny winter days ahead. ☀️❄️

And for those who prefer to stay warm and dry, our indoor walking program will be starting soon — where you’ll also have the chance to try out Nordic walking indoors! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

💬 Quote of the day:

“The hardest part of starting something new is just showing up. Prove to yourself that you can do new things — and start today!”
