Stay active this winter and meet some new friends!  Meet a different Notable Person every week!    

On Wednesday mornings starting Jan 11 at 7:30 AM, join Melanie Kidder and on Sunday afternoons starting Jan 15, at 1:00 PM join Mildred Thill at the Strathcona Community League Hall for an energizing pole walk through our friendly neighborhood and the majestic Mill Creek. Meet notable people from our great city: invited politicians, actors, playwrights, authors, and musicians will be sharing our walks.

All fitness levels are welcome so dust off the walking shoes and dress for the weather in layers because you will get warm once we get moving.  A good walking shoe is required.  We will be on sidewalks and river valley paths.  Bring a strap-on water bottle as runners use, if you like, since your hands will be full.

Walks will start off around 30-40 minutes and eventually work up to around 1 hour. Several sets of poles are available for use however they are limited so be sure to sign up or bring your own. Please contact

Memberships are available through the EFCL at http://efcl.org/membership ($5 surcharge applied), or can be purchased at the walking class.  Memberships are $20/family, $15/single, $5/senior.
