WELLNESS IN DIDSBURY

Didsbury is a CHOOSEWELL COMMUNITY! What is a healthy community?

Health and well being aren't just influenced by hospitals, doctors, and drugs; most of what determines health and well being happens outside of the health care system and in the places where people live, learn, work, and play - in communities. arpaonline.ca/choosewell

Are you a FITNESS INSTRUCTOR interested in working with the Town of Didsbury to provide our residents with fun new programs?

CONTACT US! WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU! Contact Sarah Eichhorst at seichhorst@didsbury.ca or call 403-335-3391 ext. 1111
