Up and Walking at The Shaw!!

Larry Mullen, on behalf of the CARG Executive writes: "As of Wednesday, September 2nd, the new CARG exercise program is off and running, er...walking, at the Shaw Centre. The program is scheduled to go every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

We wish Kristin and Stacey luck and good fortune in their new postings as the exercise therapists for the program at the Shaw. We at the Field House will miss them.

Everyone indicating that they wanted to attend the Shaw Centre were sent letters this August. We will be missing some of our regulars at the Field House. Fifty-two people transferred over. Another forty-some from our active list said they would attend. So we have good numbers to get the program started.

Space does not allow us to name and thank every individual and organization that helped lobby the Regional Health District for funds to run the program. But by letter and phone we have extended our gratitude to those involved.

However, we do wish to name and thank CARG past-president Bob Korpan and The Lions for making a generous cash donation for equipment to be used at the Shaw. Once the program gets settled in we will be doing a media event to properly give recognition to the Lions, and formerly announce the program"

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.
