The YMCA of Southern Interior BC acknowledges that the land we operate on is the traditional, unceded territory of the Okanagan/Syilx people who have lived, loved, worked, played, and learned on this land for thousands of years.
At the Y, helping adults experience optimal health as they age is a top priority
Do you want to learn how to build physical activity into your lifestyle to support your health and overall well-being? Are you interested in meeting new people and being part of a safe and supportive community?
Without the right guidance, being physically active can be challenging and you might not know where to start. Choose to Move is a three-month choice-based group facilitation program that is evidence-based and helps break down barriers creating a healthy routine.
Participants are supported throughout the program with opportunities to connect with other Choose to Move participants through motivational group meetings.
