Saturday June 4th is National Health and Fitness Day in Canada and the City of Winnipeg is doing their part.

The City of Winnipeg is providing free access to City-run aquatic and recreation facilities on Saturday, June 4 during scheduled public use times.

National Health and Fitness Day provides an opportunity for municipalities, and all citizens, to mark the day with events that celebrate and promote the use of local health, recreational, sports and fitness facilities. The objective is to inspire Canadians to become fitter and more active resulting in reduced health care costs attributed to preventable diseases related to inactivity.
