South Gate Centre in Woodstock to host health fair on March 24
By Mark Schadenberg
No matter what your age, you should circle March 24 on your calendar.
The Best U Expo will be held at South Gate Centre in Woodstock (on Old
Wellington St) by the gate to Southside Park).
While South Gate (519 539-9817) is an activities centre selling
memberships to the 50-plus set, the Best U Expo on Monday, March 24 (Noon – 5
p.m.) is a free trade show and is geared to every facet of health, wellness,
nutrition and fitness for aging adults. I’m curious about laughter yoga, by the
way.

Previously
known as the Active Living Fair, the event is now coordinated by Nancy Scott
and more details are available through The Sentinel-Review link below, but the
event will attract more than 30 vendors / exhibits to South Gate.
I like to write about South Gate as I'm a Realtor who has earned the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation.
Golden Nugget
The
March issue of the South Gate newsletter called the Golden Nugget is an
important read as it includes a tribute to the late Bob McFarland, who I knew
quite well as a member of the Woodstock recreation advisory committee for many
years. McFarland was integral in many areas of the City when he was employed as
the director of community services. His accomplishments include the
strengthening of the South Gate Centre membership numbers, plus the relocation
of the Woodstock Art Gallery to Dundas Street, Cowan Park soccer complex, skateboard park in
Southside Park, expansion at Southwood Arenas for additional dressing rooms,
the creation of fenced-in leash-free dog parks, extensive improvements to the
area walking trail system especially on the south shore of Pittock Lake, and the naturalization of some spaces within larger
city parks.
The
Golden Nugget also features a list of upcoming events, membership perks,
information on day trip possibilities, a look at activities ranging from card
tournaments to woodworking to yoga and computer learning, plus a volunteer of
the month profile, and a recap on the club’s Chilly Charlie ground hog day
event.
