 CALA
supports and participates in the Big Brother Arthritis Swim.
The Arthritis Society launched a
national fundraising event, The Foresters BIG Swim for Arthritis,
set to hit pools across Canada. Swimmers can train for distance
swims, participate in aqua fit or swim laps while raising funds to
support The Arthritis Society.
Encourage your facility to

 Cancers
below the waist often do not get the awareness they deserve. People
seldom talk about cancers where the sun don’t shine out of fear or
embarrassment. North York General Hospital is telling everyone to
shed those fears!
Get involved with North York
General Hospital’s campaign for cancers below the waist at the
2009 Underwear Affair.
By participating in this event, you
help raise money for an acquaintance, a friend, a loved one, or
simply a stranger who has been impacted by cancer. Proceeds
raised are directed towards North York General Hospital’s Cancer
Care Program a major focus of our community teaching Hospital.
Join the Underwear Affair by
registering at www.uncoverthecure.org.

CALA members and
leaders are
giving back. As leaders we give our knowledge and skills to others
so that they can improve their lives through Aquafitness. Our
participants come to class not only to exercise in the water, but
also to get educated on the benefits of water exercise. The class
starts with the greeting of participants and knowing each as
individuals. By knowing the participants we are able to monitor each
to ensure no harm comes to them during the class. We are also able
to challenge those who want more from the class.
Take
time to volunteer with challenged children at Bloorview Kids
Rehabilitation. These children love to have fun. In the water everyone
is an abled-person.
