CANORA – Not everyone is aware of it, but Canora has its own walking program that gives participants the opportunity to stay fit while enjoying the company of other Canora and area walkers.
The Canora Indoor/Outdoor walking group has been active since 2023.
From October to April, for $5 per session, participants can walk at Rainbow Hall from 9 a.m. to Noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
From May to September, the group has permission to use the outdoor track at Canora Composite School.
Coffee is served along with snacks- sometimes provided and sometimes brought in by participants.
