This year especially, pre-season fitness will be extremely important for HPSC members.
As always, we will be running our fun fall SkiFit program in High Park on Saturday mornings. Come enjoy the outdoors and make new friends. This is a free, fun and social event with athletic activities to suit a variety of fitness levels. We have something for everyone who wants to start getting ready for winter.
And good news, Karen Evans and John McHutchion, have agreed to return to lead the sessions this year. They, however, will not be available for the first session September 11th or on September 25th.
New HPSC members are very welcome to register. However, as was the case last year, we will continue SkiFit as an HPSC members only event.
We will also continue to require members to register each week for the session and will initially limit the number to 30 participants. Registration will open each Tuesday for the following Saturday’s session. The sessions are listed on the club Social page calendar.
If you cannot make the session, please email president@hpsc.ca and I will remove your name and open it up to the next person on the waitlist.
Unfortunately, the Grenadier Restaurant continues to be close on the weekends, so we will not be able to stay for brunch. Hopefully by the end of the fall, this will change, or we might be able to find another nearby location to have brunch.
