Summary:The new Canadian guidelines indicate that children should get at least 60 minutes of vigorous exercise daily, while adults should strive for 150 minutes a week, in increments of at least 10 minutes. From the local swimming pool to the always popular hockey rink, every season can be filled with sporting activities. Of course, summer will yield a ton of water sports and is always a great chance to make use of the beautiful lake. The Boreal Centre offers a unique way to appreciate the lake in the winter; you can borrow free cross country skis and snowshoes to explore their beautiful trails that wind through wood and water, offering spectacular scenes of the lake. For those that prefer their sports indoors, drop-in volleyball and badminton run on weeknights at the Roland Michener gym. There are also a number of local classes, from yoga to spin to boot camp, that are a great way to make friends and get moving!
