Staying active most certainly extends the quality of fitness and life itself.  Whitecappers believe that physical activity on a regular basis is the key to health, happiness, companionship and fun.  Twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday,  from 930 to 1030, "Walk Fit" meets for an active hour.  Led by our energetic Walk Fit coordinator and leader, Karen McKee, those who attend are put through a movement oriented set of activities.  Many of the motions can be incorporated from a seated position as well and Karen welcomes anyone who wishes to join, being totally mobile or partially.  Looking at carrying our the old resolution of staying fit?  Whitecappers may be the place for you!  (Photos in the main gallery)

 Thursday, January 9th at the WCA's first Lunch & Learn of the New Year, Cheryl Bryk, realtor for CIR Realty, presented the engaging topic of downsizing for the 16 seniors who attended.  Through sharing personal experiences, the experiences of past clients and identifying several tips to consider before downsizing, Whitecappers were given a thoughtful review of the topic.  Perhaps most connecting was the reality that seniors need to make a decision, explore the emotional considerations of parting with possessions and taking action before they are forced to do so, due to circumstances such as ill health. Cheryl specializes in Seniors and Downsizing and will work with seniors to help plan this process.  She can be reached at 403-401-7309.  Special thank yous to Todd, Clare, Elaine, Janna and Brenda for helping make this Lunch & Learn a success!
