Sticking to New Year’s Resolutions
With snow now falling in droves, many Calgarians (myself included!) are pulling out their skis, snowboards and snow shoes. Being active in the cold winter months is why so many of us choose to live in this great city. I’ve always believed an active city is a happier, healthier, more vibrant and energized city. So, if some of your New Year’s resolutions had to do with starting to get active but the mountains are just a bit too far for your liking, the City of Calgary offers tons of programs for fitness at all ages and levels.
Let Calgary Recreation help you keep your New Year’s Resolutions
The Winter Recreation Program Guide is now available. The City of Calgary offers a wide variety of fitness programs for all ages, interests, and skill levels.
