High Country Wellness Coalition Launches the High Country Resource Guide

Submitted by Evonne Smulders

The High Country Wellness Coalition is proud to announce the first edition of the High Country Resource Guide.
The High Country Wellness Coalition is a dedicated group of community members committed to improving the health and wellness of their communities.

The guide was created on the principal that an informed community is a healthier community. We believe the guide will help to connect residents and business to all the resources available. It is full of contact information from Aboriginal Services to Utilities. The Coalition is proud to have partnered with the Town of Black Diamond FCSS to print copies and to have the guide posted digitally on the Town of Black Diamond and Turner Valley Web Sites.
Look for the guide at the local town offices, library and various businesses.

Other Programs sponsored by the coalition:

•  Mommy and Me Fitness Class on Tuesday mornings at the United Church in Turner Valley.
•  Middle Age Movement Class on Thursday mornings at the United Church in Turner Valley.
•  The coalition has also worked with W.H.E.N senior's health and wellness program. These are all affordable community based programs. Contact the Energy Shop at 403-933-3549 for more information.

We are proud of our work including getting both the Town of Black Diamond and Turner Valley to sign a healthy community resolution which puts health and wellness as a priority in the community.
