LET'S MOVE DAY- CALGARY

DEPARTMENT NEWS

On September 11, 2022, over 400 people came out on a beautiful sunny day to the Glenmore Athletic Park in Calgary to participate in the first Let’s Move Day. This event was organized as a 5kms walk/ run that encourages people to make healthy lifestyle changes and to keep active.

The day began with event registration, then t-shirt and number distribution, and a few warmup exercises. Then before the run, Pastor Paul Antunes had a short devotional, and a speech was given by the Canadian Mental Health Society, which was supported at the event.

Hundreds of excited runners were ready as the siren blew, and for just over an hour, young and old went around the track together. Some people intently ran for the prize, and others simply walked, laughing, and sharing together.

After the run, many participants stayed at the park, where tents were set up for people to purchase food and bouncy Castles were available for children to play.

A very big thank you to the Calgary Ministerium and all the support staff who helped organize the event.
