Description

Join the Fit Guys for a community wellness gathering on learning, connection, and strengthening a community-based approach to fitness and wellness on Bowen Island. Open to all ages to attend, the session will primarily focus on aging communities and those starting or returning to exercise later in life.

The session will include information and demonstration from The Fit Guys, group discussion, and a keynote presentation by medical exercise specialist, Roz Beddall (BSc Kin, MES).
Join Medical Exercise Specialist Roz Beddall for an engaging and practical keynote on how everyday movement supports long-term health, strength, and independence. Using Canada’s 24-Hour Movement Guidelines as a framework, Roz will explore the role of daily movement, strength training, balance training, and rest — and how these elements work together to support overall health. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the types and amounts of movement that are most beneficial, along with approachable, realistic strategies to move more confidently and consistently.
The session will conclude with a group discussion, providing space to share ideas, lived experience, and feedback to help shape future community wellness programs.

This program is partially funded by the Bowen Island Literacy Task Group.
