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).
During her presentation, Roz will discuss how movement changes as we age, offer practical guidance on getting started or restarting exercise after 50, address common barriers such as pain, fear of injury, or chronic conditions, and share examples of community-based strength, balance, and mobility programs she facilitates in Saanich.
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.
