Winnipeg, MB - The City of Winnipeg is participating in this year’s National Health and Fitness Day by providing free access to City-run aquatic and recreation facilities on Saturday, June 4 during scheduled public use times.
National Health and Fitness Day provides an opportunity for municipalities, and all citizens, to mark the day with events that celebrate and promote the use of local health, recreational, sports and fitness facilities. The objective is to inspire Canadians to become fitter and more active resulting in reduced health care costs attributed to preventable diseases related to inactivity.
“I encourage everyone to get as active as they can on National Health and Fitness Day,” said Mayor Brian Bowman. “The City of Winnipeg offers many low-cost options for recreation and fitness every day of the year, and I also encourage Winnipeggers to take advantage of these opportunities.”
