Sister and co-founder, Lynn Kanuka, Olympic Bronze Medalist for Athletics in LA ‘84 agrees. “We both know that physical activity inspires passion and brings balance to our busy lives.” every WOMAN – A Day of Activity in Vancouver and Victoria Building on the success of every WOMAN – Whistler, the every WOMAN Day of Activity is intended to showcase a similar experience in a local capacity. “We had over 200 women at our gala event in Whistler this year,” says Kanuka. “It was fantastic! Our participants now want to see this concept in their own communities.” Kanuka and Carlson successfully tested the idea with every WOMAN - Powell River: A Day of Activity in April. “Everyone loved it!” says Carlson. “It was easy for women to take time for themselves for one day. And the best part was that participants came away wanting more.” Kanuka adds, “By trying new activities, getting the adrenaline going and feeling great about yourself, you feel refreshed, motivated, and inspired. As women, we feel that this is important personally, but also for our families. Your health matters, and now this opportunity for self-check and rejuvenation is available in both a day and weekend (Whistler) format.” Upcoming every WOMAN events: every WOMAN – Vancouver: A Day of Activity - Saturday, October 3 every WOMAN – Victoria: A Day of Activity - Sunday, October 18 every WOMAN – Whistler: May 14 to 16, 2010, Fairmont Chateau Whistler Visit http://www.everywoman.ca for more information.
