The Northern Health Foundation has come up with a new activity for people to get into shape to start the new year and take away the winter blues. Emily Doucette the Foundation Office Co-ordinator in the Pas  says it is an event that the whole family can take part in.

" The Winter Welness Walkathon is aimed at to get people up and moving through the winter when it is cold and dark. We are doing an indoor walkathon at the Welness Centre here in the Pas. It is open to everyone, so it is a family friendly event with activities for kids that is stroller friendly and walker friendly. It is an indoor venue and open to all ages and fitness levels."

It is $25.00 to register and all funds will be raised to stay in the Northern Health Region to support patient care and community well being. Registration is open and there will only be 100 spots available. Sign up by going to northerhealthfoundation.com.
