WHY WAIT? Embrace winter, and PLAY
TODAY!”
Winter can be a joyous season for people of
all ages. Those who embrace it know what
makes it so wonderful. The beauty of a glistening snowfall, the thrill of sports like skiing
and skating, the reward of a frothy hot chocolate after a day of winter fun. When the
cold winter snap hits, our motivation to stay
physically active invariably plummetsespecially when it comes to outdoor activity.
By decreasing our physical activity, we're
essentially 'hibernating' our hearts, which is
not good for them.
Hearts need regular exercise and winter
weather affords us many fun options for
physical activity. We don’t need to wait for
summer to arrive; embrace winter and PLAY
today! Each year there are brave souls who
embrace winter and participate in a “Polar
Bear Swim.” You don’t have to go to that
extreme to enjoy traditional summer activities, during the winter. Here are just a few
We will also have fun activities for the children on site. For more information or to
register your club to take part please call

activity tax credit receipt.
All of our programs are eligible!!! *****
ideas that you and your family can enjoy
now, instead of waiting for summer to arrive,
to get those hearts pumping:
Hiking in the Woods
Soccer in the Snow
Touch Football in the Snow
Game of Tag
Walking the dog.
No matter which activity you prefer, when you
choose recreation that encourages you to
move your body and engage in your community, you will reap the rewards. To learn more

Programs in your area, visit the CAF Community Gateway.
ENTER for YOUR CHANCE to WIN!!!

hashtag #WHYWAIT. The image with the
most “likes” will win a prize.
