Walking Week at CHIRS

Walking week took place from April 11th-14th, 2023. This was a four-day event where participants were challenged to go for a walk every day and participate in a daily theme. We were super lucky as the weather was over 20 degrees the whole week! Participants were asked to take a picture related to the theme each day and send it in, so their names can be entered into the raffle. The themes included taking a selfie on a walk, taking a picture of a furry friend, wearing blue/teal to show CHIRS spirit and taking a picture with a friend. Throughout the week there was also zoom programming related to walking and health and wellness.

The official launch for walking week was at Mind Busters on Tuesday, where we played Pictionary and tried to guess words that were health and fitness themed. Some of the other groups included Wheel of Fortune, mindful movement, indoor walking group, guided mediation, and hoots. We had over 40 photo submissions and four winners! On Wednesday April 19th, we had a walking week wrap up during sports talk where we looked at some of the photo submissions and held the raffle draw. Our four winners were Jan L, Moni I, Sandra and Tanveen H.
