Funding Helps Elders Exercise

St. Joseph’s Care Group and VON Canada are working together to get Indigenous elders more exercise.

They launched a new program in North Caribou Lake and Fort Hope First Nations.

Officials have delivered an exercise class twice a week in North Caribou, and in Fort Hope elders have used a recline stepper and video conferencing equipment that provides exercise programming.

Funding for these initiatives came from a provincial grant. (Photo supplied)
