Physical activity is not just beneficial for maintaining a healthy body, but also for improving mental health. Regular exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, boost self-esteem, enhance cognitive function, and reduce symptoms of depression. Physical activity is a natural stress reliever because when you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals that help reduce stress and anxiety and at the Golden Circle we offer a variety of fitness programs from Yoga to Zumba, to a Stretch Flex and Strengthen class and Sit and Be Fit. We have an all-year Bocce group, Carpet Bowling and a Hardy Walkers Club who walk year-round!

Mental health is a vital aspect of overall health. As we grow older, we can experience changes in physical health, social connections, and daily routines that can significantly affect our quality of life, our mood and well-being. While many people in Canada struggle with their mental health, certain groups face unique challenges because of systemic racism, discrimination, socio-economic status, or social exclusion. Among these communities, seniors have experienced many challenges to their mental health.
