Join our next Just Walk event, powered by Walk with a Doc at Bayfront Park—a free, one-hour walking program designed to bring the community together while promoting better health.
Each Just Walk session features a brief presentation on a different health topic, led by a local healthcare provider such as a physiotherapist, family doctor, registered dietitian, mental health counsellor, or other provider.
Tricia Brinn, Mental Health Coordinator, shares a tip on mindful walking to manage stress
Wellness doesn’t just have to be hour-long meditations or complex routines. Consider weaving micro-practices into your day—brief, intentional pauses that can support your well-being over time.
These might include a few mindful moments while walking, sipping your coffee, eating, showering, doodling, or even doing dishes. Small shifts in everyday habits can create powerful changes in how we feel.
