CARG Program at the Shaw Centre

A second C.A.R.G. exercise program is slated to commence operation at the Shaw Centre this September.

On Friday, April 17th members of the C.A.R.G. Executive met with Shan Landry, V.P. for Community Services with the Saskatoon Health Region. She informed us that the Health Region was committing funds on an ongoing basis to deliver a cardiac exercise program at the Shaw Centre, on the west side of the city.

Ms Landry complimented C.A.R.G. on our lobbying efforts to obtain this second program. It was those efforts, she said, that convinced senior management of the need for such a program. Ms Landry further stated she would like to have C.A.R.G. join with her on comparable future initiatives and to meet with us annually.

We will have information available for the membership, as Fall approaches, regarding times and other specifics.

We owe a word of thanks to several other organizations and individuals for their efforts on behalf of the new program. More will be published about this in the September newsletter. - Larry Mullen, President, C.A.R.G.
