New Aiyansh: Healthy Kids and Healthy Communities

We’re back! And Wow what an amazing trip. I won’t be able to communicate the full extent of everything on the trip through a post, but luckily I’m diligently working on a video encapsulating our 4 day trip into 5 minutes.  It will be finished on Friday (my last day as an intern!!).

Here is a short preview of our trip through pictures...

We travelled in a bus like this.      

And drove until we saw this 

and this

We visited the Nisga'a Museum ...

 and canoed like this.

 We arrived at the New Aiyansh YMCA and were awestruck by this.

We were welcomed with a traditional feast like this.

(Sea lion, herring eggs, oligans, salmon and all)

 And received beautiful cedar head dresses like this.

The next day we set up for Healthy Kids Day like this,

 and celebrated healthy communities and families with activities like this.

 We met so many amazing, adorable, gracious, and cute children like this.

We left exhausted, but so happy and grateful like this

Great Trip!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this so I thought I should share.

YMCA Events: Healthy Kids Day, Road Race, & Aurora Leadership Program

Perfect Weather

So if you have been reading my blog you will know that the YMCA Road Race is June 3^rd. Yes, 6 days away!!!!

If you’re interested at all check out this link-> road race info. 

The weather is supposed to be perfect. Not too hot and not too cold.-->

However, not only is there a 10K happening this weekend but you can also choose to run a 5k or a ½ marathon. Woot woot, Go Prince George! Lets get our run on.

But wait, there’s more. After the Road Race there is the Healthy Kids day marathon at Masich Stadium which kicks off Healthy Kids day. This will be the 5th Annual Healthy Kids Day, where families are invited to come join us in a variety of different activities promoting health and well-being. (More info -> Here)

And what’s this Photo Contest I keep hearing about? Oh right, the one where you can win free registration into the new Aurora Leadership Program! So if you know anyone between the ages of 13-15 years old, encourage them to submit a photo of themselves rocking their favourite outdoor activity on our Facebook wall.

Wow, that’s a lot. I'll give you some time to digest it all. J

Cheers

Thoughts

1. . SWEAT IS FAT CRYING. 
2. . YOUR WORKOUT IS MY WARMUP. 
3. . LOOK LIKE A BEAUTY. TRAIN LIKE A BEAST. 
4. . MORE LOVE. LESS HANDLES. 
5. . WHAT DOESN’T KILL ME HAD BETTER START RUNNING. 
6. . THIS ISN’T SWEAT. IT’S LIQUID AWESOME. 

I really enjoyed these so I thought I would share. Just some friendly reminders to help motivate you next time you're at the gym or out for a run.

I especially like #6.
