Saskatoon celebrates Active Aging Week

Adults over 50 can visit any leisure centre to avail programs for Active Aging Week

SASKATOON — The International Council of Aging designated Oct. 4 to 10 as Active Aging Week – a time to celebrate aging and the benefits of active living at any age. Active Aging Week challenges society’s expectations of aging by showing that regardless of age or health conditions, adults over 50 can live life to the fullest.

“Active Aging is a priority for Recreation & Community Development,” says Recreation and Community Development director Andrew Roberts.“We offer a variety of drop-in and registered programs at our Leisure Centres that have been categorized as Fit Over 50 programs and provide a guide to physical activity for people [over] 50.”

City RCD, to celebrate Active Aging week, invites residents to stop by a Leisure Centre during the period. An ambassador will be on location to talk about fall programs. It’s also a chance to win prizes, visit with friends and relax after exercising.

  • Shaw Centre: Monday, October 4 (11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)
  • Lawson Civic Centre: Tuesday, October 5 (9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)
  • Lakewood Civic Centre: Wednesday, October 6 (8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.)
  • Saskatoon Field House: Thursday, October 7 (9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.)
  • Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre: Friday, October 8 (10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
