Equality Fitness and Recreation
South Edmonton T6G Edmonton, AB, Canada

This morning, the EFR team was proud to be part of ARPA's 3rd Youth Development through Recreation Symposium presentation. So wonderful to hear what our friends are doing to keep youth active during these constantly changing times. Check our our video highlighting a few of the opportunities the outdoors have afforded youth we get to spend time with!

A great learning opportunity!

Please Take note!

TEMPORARY PROGRAM SUSPENSION - COVID-19 Hello Equality Fitness participants, family and friends, We hope this finds you all well, safe, and healthy. ... Any of you who have been in programming with us over the past few months are aware of the additional precautions, protocols and safety procedures we follow in order to maintain the health of you and our team. These are challenging times. In light of the recent announcements from the provincial government on November 24, as well as by request of some of our professional affiliations, we have decided to temporarily suspend all Equality Fitness & Recreation programming for the next few weeks in an effort to do all we can to reduce the impact of COVID-19. We are aware that the new provincial state of emergency does not actually prohibit us from offering programming in our appointment only, 1:1 format. Yet for us, the safety of you and our team is of utmost importance. Despite our continued commitment to health protocols - we do come into contact with numerous households from day to day. Ultimately, we hope this decision contributes to reducing the spread and preventing a further, more devastating lockdown in the future. We know that this may be a shock to many of you. We too benefit greatly from the interactions, activities and social connection we share with you all. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us should you be interested in online training or require a program revision before we see you again. Thank you for your understanding. We will send another update in two weeks time to update you. Again, please do not hesitate to connect should you have any questions or concerns or need any support on our end. Your EFR team
