The Chestermere Regional Community Association’s (CRCA) annual Go Girl event is promoting sport, recreation, wellness and mental health for girls.
The day will start at 8:30 a.m., at the Chestermere recreation centre on March 17, and will consist of a variety of activities such as dance, self-defence, rugby, gym ringette, curling, yoga, and more recreational and positive mental health activities.
“Go Girl is a program that encourages girls to get involved in lifelong physical activity. We aim to bring together girls and service providers who can support this mandate,” CRCA General Manager Jody Nouwen said. “Physical activity is an important part of adolescent health and can contribute to a happier and healthier lifestyle.”
