Tomorrow is the first National Health and Fitness day. An act passed into law late last year, means the first Saturday of June is now a national day to promote health and fitness across Canada.

Here in Thompson, Mayor Dennis Fenske recently made a proclamation to recognize the date as well. To encourage physical activit, all of the City’s recreation facilities will be free for residents.

Some of Thompson’s biggest runs coincidentally hit the roads this weekend as well. Both the Gutsy Walk and Run Thompson happen on Sunday. Both events will have registration day of.
