- Seniors' Exercise
Class -
The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College has
willingly undertaken leadership of the group
and developed an excellent program suitable
for participants with varied levels of
mobility and other restrictions. Participants
can do exercises either seated or standing to
the level of their tolerance. The weekly class
is open to members of the four congregations
(Iona Presbyterian, St. Christopher's
Anglican, St. Cyprian's Anglican, and Trinity
Mandarin) who worship in the building and also
to the community. We currently have close to
30 members in the class. Not only has this
provided a valuable health promotion activity
for the churches and community, but it also
provides Clinic Interns (pre-graduate
students) at CMCC with valuable experience
working with the participants. Classes are
planned and run by the interns and supervised
by registered Chiropractors who are teaching
faculty at the College. The program is
definitely a win-win situation for all
involved. Margaret Black, Parish Nurse, would
like to express the participants' gratitude to
Dr. Jarrod Goldin, DC, and his students, and
to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College
for helping to make this dream a reality.
