Active Family Benefits

Did you know our government has doubled the Active Families Benefit tax credit to help keep these activities more affordable? Families are eligible to claim up to $300 per child (or $400 for children with disabilities) when the gross household income is $120,000 or less. Parents who enroll their children in sport, culture and recreation activities in the 2025 calendar year are reminded to keep their receipts so they may claim the benefit when they file their taxes for 2025. We hope you and your family enjoy active time together this year!

Swing Into Health: The Benefits of Golfing

Golfing provides a range of health benefits that contribute to physical fitness and mental well-being. It offers a low-impact cardiovascular workout, improving endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Walking the course helps burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. Golfing in green surroundings reduces stress, enhances mood, and promotes relaxation. Being outdoors during golf exposes players to sunlight, aiding in vitamin D absorption. It reduces tension, improves sleep, and promotes longevity

DID YOU KNOW??

Fascia aka connective tissue is a three-dimensional web that spreads throughout the body and surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel and organ. So, when a fascial restriction occurs due to a physical or emotional trauma, or a surgery, there is a binding down of the fascial system. This binding down of the fascia can create tremendous pressure in the body causing pain, limited mobility, and restricted range of motion. If you are struggling with pain or restricted movement, schedule yourself a myofascial release treatment, and get back to moving pain free. Help is just a call away.

From Rescue to Forever Homes

Supporting the SPCA offers meaningful benefits for the animals, the volunteers and the community. Whether through adoption, donations, volunteering, or fostering, your involvement helps rescue animals from neglect, abuse, or abandonment—giving them a second chance at life. Fostering is especially impactful, providing temporary, loving homes for animals as they await permanent placement. It eases shelter overcrowding and helps animals adjust to home life, making them more adoptable. By promoting responsible pet ownership and offering services like spay/neuter programs, the SPCA plays a vital role in reducing overpopulation and improving animal welfare. For volunteers and supporters, the emotional rewards are just as powerful—offering purpose, joy, companionship and the chance to make a lasting difference. Please reach out to see how you can make a difference and save a life!

Nature’s Health Boost

Spending time outside the city—especially camping, surrounded by nature—offers powerful health benefits. Trees and green spaces naturally purify the air and release oxygen, which supports better lung function and boosts energy levels. Being in these environments reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves mood. Camping immersing you in fresh air and natural light, which can improve sleep patterns and mental clarity. Outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or biking further enhance cardiovascular health. Time spent under the canopy of trees helps reconnect you to nature, reduces anxiety and depression, and may even decrease the risk of chronic illnesses associated with fast-paced urban life.
